After having breakfast we start our cycle tour in Jelsa going to the most Eastern place of the isle - Sucuaj. Destination of our crossing is the isle of Korcula with its same named capital. There we will have enough time to walk through the beautiful old town with its fishbone-like narrow streets which compete for the honor with Venice to be the birthplace of Marco Polo.
3rd Day Tuesday: Korcula - Vis (48 km / 30 miles)
Korcula city is the starting point of our today's cycle tour across the isle of Korcula. Silence and isolation mostly characterize the picture of the maybe most beautiful Dalmatian isle. We reach the port of Pirgradica, where our ship is waiting with lunch. After a longer crossing, we finally reach the isle of Vis in the afternoon.
4th Day Wednesday: Vis - Hvar (32 km / 20 miles)
Vis is the furthermost Croatian isle from the mainland. Vis was a military area because of its strategic favorable location and was not accessible for tourists until 1995. We have the opportunity to explore this lovely island by bicycle. Then our ship takes us to the isle of Hvar, where we have enough time to visit the great Renaissance place and to enjoy the view of the Spanish fortress on the top of the city.
5th Day Thursday: Hvar and Brac (35 km / 22 miles)
In the morning our cycle course leads us across a 400 m high mountain pass. First we will cycle to the famous village Stari Grad which is famous as an artist's colony. After a short visit of this place which was founded as a Greek colony of Faro, our tour leads us to Jelsa. There we will board the ship which takes us to an unstinting swimming break at Croatia's most famous beach, the golden Horn.
6th Day Friday: Solta - Trogir (19 km / 12 miles)
After a short crossing to Stomorska on the isle of Solta, we will set up to our last cycle tour. Walled fields, numerous olive trees, carob- and fig trees line the street. The aromatic smell of lavender and rosemary accompanies us during our way across this island.
