Cycling Holidays in Latvia

The Dalmatian Coast is a real treat for cyclists. Eye-popping views and jaw dropping descents made this trip truly memorable. The history of Croatia from the ancient Greeks to the present day is evident throughout the trip.

As first-timers on a group cycling experience, this was an amazing kick-off ride for us. We loved meeting new people in our group and the warm-hearted locals along the way… always gracious and open. The breathtaking scenery was awe-inspiring, especially along the coasts. The history echoed through every destination. The food was some of the best we’ve eaten anywhere. The challenge of the many miles and numerous climbs was very rewarding, as were the twists, turns, downhills, and straightaways that allowed us to focus on the here and now of our surroundings. And our two tireless guides Alexandros and Dimitris dutifully kept us engaged, safe, and entertained. It was an adventure we’ll never forget.

This was a very (very) enjoyable vacation. We have a good mix of personalities in the group who got on together and a great guide, Lina, who kept everything rolling. The mix of cycling and Baltic culture was the right balance and the sunny, warm weather, for all but the last day, showcased the 3 x Baltic countries at their glorious best.

The trip blended the cycling with city visits (inc three in Lithuania, Kaunas, Klaipeda and Vilnius), beach visit (optional swim), a boat trip, city tours, country sightseeing, supported with interesting history and facts, supplied by Lina. This provided an overview of a ‘hidden part’ of Europe, that was very enlightening, more so now, due to the Baltic states proximity and relationship with bordering Russia.

The hotels were all good standard and the local food ranged from good to delicious. During the days, we had the right amount of stops for coffee, ice cream, comfort breaks etc. Additionally, the local Baltic beer in all three countries is excellent, but be warned, pretty strong too.

Estonia, Latvia & Lithuania do have many similarities but are clearly unique. Personally, I came away educated & with a clearer understanding of the the history and politics of the region & I’m grateful for this

I highly recommend this trip – it was so good, I may even do it again!
