It’s hard to resist cycling one of the world’s ten most
beautiful islands … exploring stone-carved villages amidst olive groves and
poppy fields … coasting along breathtaking Adriatic vistas and pausing to swim
at pristine beaches.
The Croatian islands of Brac and Hvar are a cyclist’s
dream, a thrilling and soulful tableau of azure waters, emerald hills, and a
rich old-world culture where salty fishermen deliver the day’s catch to local
eateries, stonecutters still practice an ancient art, and locals invite you
into their home for a traditional meal. We’ll introduce you to one irresistible
charm after another on this one-of-a-kind itinerary!
