After breakfast, the boat sets off on a bike tour from Stari Grad to the capital city of Hvar. You'll have plenty of time on arrival to visit the magnificent Renaissance Square of Hvar town and enjoy the view up to the Spanish Fortress situated high above the city. Back on board again we cross over to the island of Vis. Overnight stay on Vis.Day 3: Island of Vis, 20 mi. (32 km)
Vis is the furthermost island from mainland Croatia. A Greek colony called Issa was settled on the island 2,300 years ago. Due to its strategic location, it was a military zone until 1995 and prohibited for foreign tourists. Today is the opportunity to explore the lovely island by bicycle. After cycling the boat takes you to the Island of Korčula. Overnight stay in Vela Luka.Day 4: Island of Korčula, 37.5 mi. (60 km)
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)
Cruise to the island of Brač, famous for its radiant, precious limestone, which was used for the White House in Washington and the Reichstag building in Berlin. After an extended swim break followed by lunch, start your cycling trip in Sumartin, leading us to Selca and on to the picturesque harbor town Pučišća. The lovely harbor is home to one of the most famous masonry schools in Croatia. The creations of the students decorate the harbor village. Overnight stay Pučišća.Day 6: Omiš - Split, 27 mi. (44 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. Participants of the rafting trip are brought back to the boat on the bus after the activity. In the afternoon, the ship takes you to Split. 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)
After crossing over to Rogač on the island of Šolta, your last cycle tour commences. Walled fields, numerous olive groves, locust beans, and fig trees line the roads. The herbal smell of rosemary accompanies us along our tour around the island. The boat awaits in Rogač as you enjoy one last last crossing back to Trogir, If time permits, you can tour the old town, a world heritage site. Following tradition, your last evening is spent enjoying a cozy dinner and celebrating with the crew and tour guides.Day 8: Disembarkation in Trogir

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.
Airport Info
Fly to the airport of Split which is about 6 km from your port of embarkation in Trogir.
It is also possible to fly to the airports of Dubrovnik or Zadar. From these airports we can offer fee-based individual transfers (see pricing).
Zadar Airport - Trogir (ca. 1,5 hrs)
Dubrovnik Airport - Trogir (ca. 4 hrs)Local Travel
From the airport you can take a taxi to the ship at Harbor Trogir, approx. 6 km away for ± 20 Euro.
Climate
Split has a Mediterranean climate. Summers are warm and Winters are mild. Peak travel time is between May and October. We recommend that you check local conditions prior to arrival.
Day of Rest
You are free to set aside a half or full day to swim or spend on board the boat instead of taking a planned bike tour.
