Vis is the furthermost island from mainland Croatia. A Greek colony called Issa was settled on the island 2,300 years ago.

Discover the island of Korčula by bicycle and enjoy lunch in one of the local restaurants. The calmness and remoteness of the vast vegetation and cypress gardens have given shape to probably the most beautiful Dalmatian island. The bicycle tour leads via the village of Blato, like Rome, built on seven hills, along a pass road across Pupnat bay, and finally to Korčula town. Take a walk through the wonderful old town with its narrow “fishbone like” alleys. Overnight stay in Korčula town.Day 5: Island of Brač, 17 mi. (27 km)

Enjoy breakfast as the boat sails a short crossing to Omiš. Today you have the choice between taking part in a bike tour around the Cetina Canyon or participating in a rafting excursion down the Cetina River (not included in the tour price). The bike tour takes you once around the outskirts of the canyon, with great views over the river and back down towards the sea. The rafting group will be picked up from the boat by a bus and taken upriver to the starting point. From here, follow the river downstream in the rafts, gaining a unique perspective of the canyon and its flora and fauna.

The old town of Split, built adjoining the famous palace of the Roman Caesar Diocletian, is a world heritage site. Overnight stay in Split.Day 7: Island of Šolta, 12.5 mi. (20 km)

Extra Info
Skill Level — Moderate
It is difficult to give the e-bike tours a difficulty level! If you are booking this tour with an electric bike, the tour rating will depend on the amount of battery assistance you use. It could be easy, or it could be moderate to difficult! If you are booking this tour with a hybrid touring bike, it will be moderate to difficult. You will work much harder to keep up with the cyclists on the electric bike and the majority of cyclists on an e bike tour will be riding electric bikes. Regardless, it is assumed that you already have a level of fitness acquired from steady cycling and that you have good balance and good control of the bicycle. Electric bikes are heavier than non-electric bikes. The tours will traverse heights of between 200 and 500 m with daily distances ranging between 20 to 55 km through mountainous terrain. Tours can be completed without any time-constraints. Participants will need to master long and steep climbs which present little or no problem with the use of the E-bikes. Streets are mostly asphalted with little traffic. You can choose each day to cycle on your own with the maps and information provided or to join the two tour guides and group. This tour is designed primarily as a guided group trip. After prior agreement with our tour guides and the selection of a suitable route, you may be able to cycle self-guided.
