Route

Tour profile: Level 2-3

The cycling stages require a good basic condition, which should be acquired as a regular cyclist. The cycling stages of 30 - 60 km in length lead through hilly and mountainous terrain and are cycled without time constraints. Steeper or longer climbs can also be mastered. The roads are mainly asphalted and not very busy outside the vacation periods.

On your cycle tour, you will cycle from Pomena through the Mljet National Park with its two small saltwater lakes and the monastery of St. Mary, which is idyllically situated on a small island. Your boat awaits you in Pomena for dinner and overnight stay.

Day 3: Islands of Lastovo und Korčula, approx. 28 km

Today’s cycle tour takes you across the beautiful island of Lastovo, which is known beyond the borders of Croatia, not least for the golden yellow white wine "Marastina" grown here. The subsequent crossing takes you to the island of Korčula, which is one of the most beautiful islands in Dalmatia. The picturesque island capital of Korčula, with its herringbone-like alleyways, competes with Venice for the honor of having been the birthplace of the famous explorer Marco Polo. A short guided tour peppered with stories of this beautiful city concludes today’s program.

Day 4: Korčula City – Vela Luka, approx. 60 km

On today’s cycle tour, you will explore the entire island of Korčula - considered by many to be one of the most beautiful islands in Dalmatia.
