Top 5 Croatia Cycling Highlights

1. Hvar Island
Cycling in Hvar offers the thrill of riding along ancient Roman roads and scenic coastal routes, with stops in charming villages like Vrbovska and Jelsa. The journey includes a challenging hill climb to a viewpoint with breathtaking views of the island of Brac, followed by the exploration of Hvar’s marbled streets and gothic architecture. You’ll also enjoy picturesque landscapes, passing through olive groves, vineyards, and small villages with stunning views of the turquoise waters and mountainous mainland.

2. Korčula Island
Korčula Island, often referred to as “Little Dubrovnik,” is renowned for its medieval architecture, charming narrow streets, and interesting cultural heritage. This lush island is dotted with vineyards, olive groves, and quaint villages, offering a picturesque backdrop perfect for cyclists to explore. Its pristine beaches and clear blue waters, along with vibrant local traditions and culinary delights, make Korčula a dream destination in the Adriatic.

3. Dubrovnik
Known as the “Pearl of the Adriatic,” boasts stunning medieval architecture, with its iconic city walls and historic old town earning UNESCO World Heritage status. The old town, or Stari Grad, is filled with cobblestone streets, fountains, churches, palaces and museums — all built from the same light-coloured stone. There are no motor vehicles in the quiet city, but at night the streets come alive as people take an early evening stroll along the Stradun, the main street, which is covered in smooth shiny marble. The city’s marble streets, baroque buildings, and beautiful seaside setting create a magical atmosphere that attracts cyclists from around the world.

4. Split
Split, Croatia’s second-largest city, is a vibrant blend of ancient history and modern life, centered around the remarkable Diocletian’s Palace, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. With its bustling waterfront promenade, lively markets, and stunning coastal views, Split is the starting point for our Cycling Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast adventure.

5. Mljet Island
Mljet Island, often considered one of Croatia’s most beautiful islands, is renowned for its lush forests, crystal-clear lakes, and tranquil beaches. The island’s National Park, which covers its western part, features the stunning saltwater lakes of Veliko and Malo Jezero, along with a picturesque Benedictine monastery on the islet of St. Mary.

The itinerary was very interesting. I learned a lot about Sicilian history and culture. The riding distance each day was perfect, considering the challenging hills and heat. Wonderful riding leader and driver. We were well taken care of!

This was our first trip with Exodus and will not be our last! This company is very organized down to every detail. The description of the itinerary is very accurate, the hotels very nice , the Trek bikes were great and each bike had a handlebar bag for phones, sunscreen, snacks etc.

Our leader João was superb and made each participant feel welcomed, and cared for no matter the skill level.
João stopped to show us things of interest along the way each day, giving us the history and facts of which we would not have learned if we had travelled on our own.
João did briefings each day, so we knew exactly what to expect and a debrief at end of each day with a well organized power-point presentation.
He helped with dinner suggestions and even made the reservations for us.
His enthusiasm and love of his job made it a very enjoyable experience.
Also, Ricardo who was our other Exodus support person was superb! He cycled at the end of the group providing encouragement and support! Ricardo was always smiling and always available for our needs as well. He was a fabulous back up for any individual who needed help. We cannot say enough about Ricardo and how he helped to make this such a great experience for us!
The third Exodus support person was Toni! He was so kind and thoughtful and made the most elaborate picnics for us. He drove the van and met us at various check points so we had access to our belongings if we needed anything. He had water to fill our water bottles and was available incase someone needed to have a van drive if they weren’t able to bike any portions of the day.
These 3 individuals made the trip so wonderful for us!
The itinerary is accurate in that the description of the steep hills toward the end of day 3 , really were steep! Also the long steep hills on day 6 were as described.
We used pedal bikes and managed fine, we are mid 60’s but we are runners and in good shape. The first two days were flat and very easy for any skill level. The steep hills on day three at end of day were challenging on a pedal bikes, despite our good fitness level. However, we would do pedal bikes again despite the steep hills, it gave us a sense of accomplishment! E-bikes are available to people to sign up for prior to the trip.
The views were stunning along the ocean.
We were so impressed by this company, their attention to detail , their efforts to decrease their carbon footprint and we highly recommend Exodus to anyone.
We are already looking at idea for our next Exodus trip !
