Travelled as a single and managed to twist my knee before the actual cycling trip started. Not a good start. But the e-bike I’d ordered was great, and it was just a matter of hitting the battery harder than usual. The rest of the group was lovely and Alan Skulic the group leader was very patient and understanding – even carried my suitcase up 3 flights of stairs in Dubrovnik! Adrian our driver was equally patient and helpful. Croatia is stunning and the routes were varied and enjoyable. Some didn’t enjoy the gravel part; I’m used to gravel so I loved it. Some lovely downhills and the long climb on the first day was especially enjoyable. Prekrasno – the Croatian word for stunning. Easily remembered: break-crash-no.

Dubrovnik Trips
Join Exodus to explore the coastal city of Dubrovnik, the Pearl of the Adriatic, in southern Croatia. The star attraction here is the medieval old town, enclosed by fortified walls on a peninsula. Now a World Heritage site, it promises narrow winding streets teeming with small stores and restaurants, plus magnificent baroque architecture. Additionally, the old port still operates a brisk trade in fresh fish and no Dubrovnik trip is complete without sampling the local take on crni rižot (cuttlefish ink risotto).

Bethan Evans Cycling Croatia's Dalmatian Coast
Nigel Turner Cycling Croatia's Dalmatian CoastThis is a very enjoyable cycling trip. Don’t be put off by the ‘moderate to challenging’ label – to us it didn’t seem more strenuous than the ‘moderate’ trips we’d done before and, if you’re on e-bikes as we were, you have extra power if you need it and can still get good exercise!
The routes were interesting and enjoyable. We had good weather. It was still quite warm. We enjoyed the ferry journeys to and from the islands. The e-bikes were good and the front paniers helpful. The old towns of Hvar and Korcula are lovely and of course Dubrovnik is special.
The three hotels were fine and their breakfasts exceeded our expectations for continental hotels. We ‘upgraded’ in two of them and had a family suite one and a sea view balcony in the other.
Anthony Stephenson Bosnia & BeyondAs an Exodus Staff member i thought this was a fantastic tour that perfectly balanced nature, history, and culture. One of the highlights was the variety of experiences, from exploring fascinating cities and learning about the region’s complex past to enjoying breathtaking landscapes across the Balkans.
A particularly memorable aspect was the opportunity to enjoy home-cooked meals with local families, which provided a genuine insight into daily life. These experiences felt incredibly authentic.
