Overview

Adjacent to the Adriatic Sea and with a real flavour of the Mediterranean, the Balkan countries of Croatia, Bosnia-Herzegovina and Montenegro provide the backdrop for this spectacular week of road cycling. Starting and finishing our tour in the stunning coastal town of Dubrovnik means we have easy access to some of the best road rides in the region, taking us from the pretty villages and vineyards of the coastal strip up into the limestone massif of the Dinaric Alps.


The location of this tour also means that we will cross between these three adjoining countries on several occasions and have the opportunity to experience something of the variety of this beautiful and historically fascinating corner of Europe. We get a taste of what is to come on the very first day, with a hilly route through Bosnia-Herzegovina to the border with Montenegro, followed by a long descent and a picturesque coast road ride around the inner part of the Bay of Kotor. We then have a day of cycling in the rugged Lovcen National Park, with an amazing descent back to Kotor, followed on the next day with a great coastal ride up to Cavtat and some free time in the afternoon to check out one of the Adriatic’s prettiest seaside locations. Then it’s back up into Bosnia-Herzegovina, cycling for part of the day on a single track road that used to be a railway line, before returning through the Dinaric foothills to the Croatian coast at Ston. As a fitting finale, we spend two days on the sun-kissed Dalmatian Coast, cycling on the Peljesac Peninsula and the Island of Korcula. With a choice of low-cost flights to Dubrovnik, good hotels, all of the usual logistic support and six varied days of cycling, this is a new and exciting European holiday for road cyclists.

ROAD CYCLING. This holiday has 6 days of cycling, averaging around 80 kilometres and 1150 metres of ascent on each of those days. Whilst reasonably challenging, this is a holiday that should suit any regular weekend road cyclist. None of the days has more than 5 hours of actual cycling and there should be plenty of time for reflection and relaxation. Most of the riding is on quiet country roads, with a just a few link-up sections on slightly busier roads. Throughout the holiday the group is totally supported - at the start of the day your kit will be loaded into the support vehicle and transported to the next overnight halt. Apart from the spare tube, multi-tool and pump that you would take on any day-ride, you will not be required to carry anything. A great mix of inland and coastal cycling, three different countries and good hotel accommodation makes this holiday a great choice for any keen road cyclist looking for a new and very different European destination early and late in the year. BIKE HIRE AVAILABLE LOCALLY.
