Adriatic Riviera Tour
Croatia, Slovenia
This tour is
a great way to start or finish the season. On the Adriatic coast,
summer begins early and ends late. Temperatures are perfect, roads
are empty, and the beaches are not packed with tourists. All this
combined makes Croatia's azure coast perfect for riding.
A tour for serious riders as well as connoisseurs of culture and
history, this adventure includes 2 nights in both Dubrovnik and
Hvar, which are worth a voyage across the Atlantic all by themselves.
This spectacular mix of coastal and mountain riding, crystal-clear
seas, delicious Mediterranean food, unspoiled fishing villages,
beaches, medieval walled cities, Roman ruins and lush islands make
Croatia traveler's paradise.

Cruising
through the pristine forests of southeast Slovenia, we arrive
at UNESCO's Plitvice lakes. In Plitvice National
Park, sixteen little lakes interconnected with
waterfalls created by deposition of travertine, a special
kind of limestone, constitute the main attraction of this
unique park. |

Day
3 - 4 |
Our second
riding day in Croatia snakes south passing the dryer moon-like
surface of the Biokovo mountains towards
Dubrovnik, the city of world-famous cultural
heritage and beauty. Take a walk on top of Dubrovnik's thick
stone walls, stroll marble-paved squares, steep cobbled
streets and Placa, or go for a ride to Montenegro.
Also very interesting is a full day boat trip to Mljet
Island, which of all Adriatic islands may be the
most seductive. |
|
Day
5 - 6 |
We continue
our ride through southern Dalmatia, the
most beautiful part of the Adriatic coast. Rich vegetation,
beautiful lakes, rare islands, white pebble beaches and
the crystal clear sea, all make this region to an unforgettable
experience for every visitor. You can stop in Ston,
famous for its defensive wall, the longest fortification
in Europe, and the best seafood in Croatia.
A short ferry ride will get us to Hvar Island,
where we'll ride the twistiest road of the whole trip. Called
the "Croatian Medeira", Hvar each year receives
more hours of sunshine than any other place in the country.
Yet the island is luxuriantly green, with brilliant patches
of lavender, rosemary and heather. |
|
Day
7 |
Roman
history buffs will want to visit the historic town of Saloma
and Diocletian's Palace in Split on the way to
Pag Island. A barren, rocky island with
no trees, little vegetation, no rivers or streams, Pag nonetheless
has a stark, ethereal beauty enhanced by a highly original
culture. |
|
Day
8 |
Our seaside
roller coaster ride continues along a narrow strip
of land bound by imposing mountains and rugged coastline.
The scenery here is truly remarkable when you have the Adriatic
Sea on one side and the steep hillsides of Velebit
mountain range on the other. Winding through pristine
forests of Lika we'll ride back to Slovenia, visit a couple
of picturesque castles on the way, and reach Ljubljana in the afternoon. There you will spend your last night to
muse and remember all that you've witnessed on the adventure. |
|
Day
9 |
Stroll
through the narrow streets of Ljubljana,
the capital of Slovenia, before heading out to the airport.
