Itinerary

Cycle through the lush landscapes and medieval treasures of Croatia’s largest peninsula with the "Istrian Cycle Explorer" tour. Over eight days, this self-guided bicycle journey starts and ends in Porec, guiding travelers through Kaldanija, Rabac, and centuries-old hill towns like Groznjan and Motovun. The route is thoughtfully crafted to balance nature, history, and culture, taking you past vineyards, olive groves, and vibrant riverscapes. After a rewarding day’s ride, relax in welcoming family-run hotels and sample the region’s celebrated wines.

What's Excluded

AnonymousOn May 31, 2023

We really enjoyed the cycling in Istria. The roads were in great shape for road bikes and had very little traffic except getting in and out of Pula which is to be expected. There were lots of places to stop for cappuccino, snacks and lunch, bikes were a perfect way to visit so many villages in the hills and on the coast. The hotels were great with variety from resort style hotels to boutique hotels in the old towns. The luggage transfer was smooth. We were given maps, an app and gpx files so we were never in danger of getting lost.
