Top 5 Islands to Visit on Dalmatian Coast Tours

Hvar

Hvar is one of the more popular Croatian islands, many lured by the fashionable port town of the same name. Throughout its warren of streets are ancient buildings, gothic palaces and restaurant upon restaurant selling seafood delicacies. It’s this combination that makes visitors fall in love with Hvar, not to mention the natural beauty of its pristine coastline and lavender fields. To get a real sense of the town’s history, walk along the medieval walls or climb up to the fortress that stands at the top of the hill.

Korčula

While Korčula is known for sprawling vineyards and wineries, there’s lots more to it. Picture sleepy villages, olive groves and flower-filled meadows where you can immerse yourself in alluring scenery. Often called Little Dubrovnik, the island’s town of the same name is wrapped inside medieval walls, where authentic restaurants and bars are tucked among cobbled streets. Pupnat is the oldest village on the island, with just 500 inhabitants, a parish church and a local bar, and gives you an insight into both its past and modern life.

Brač

This scenic island is popular with walkers wanting to explore rocky beaches and dramatic mountains, lush vineyards and ancient forests. The largest of the islands in Dalmatia, Brač also hosts the highest mountain in the Adriatic, Vidova Gora. On your travels, you’ll learn about the island’s rich history, which dates back to neolithic times when it was first inhabited. Be sure to try the locally grown olives, produced here since the 17^th century.

Mljet

Mljet is enchanting – largely unspoilt landscapes, azure waters and hushed forests lure walkers to its shores. Approximately one-third of the island is covered by a national park, which offers an insight into a small piece of Croatia’s heritage. If you want to go in search of spectacular views, head into the hills where sprawling coastal panoramas unfold.

Dalmatian Coast Trips

This pristine coastline is more than 1,700km and home to terracotta-roofed houses, ancient buildings and soaring mountains. Whether you prefer to explore on foot or by bike, our Dalmatian Coast trips introduce you to some of the most beautiful parts of southern Croatia. Lush islands that pepper the coastline offer natural diversity and guide you to hidden pockets of discovery.

If you want to discover Europe on a cycling trip, there are few places more beguiling than the Dalmatian Coast. Ride quiet seafront roads and enjoy unparalleled views as you travel between vineyards, villages and towns. There are so many places to discover, such as the UNESCO city of Dubrovnik, the islands of Hvar and Korčula, and the Pelješac Peninsula. Alternatively, go on an island-hopping adventure or take a cultural tour of Dalmatia and sample the famous wines of Lumbarda.

Croatia is filled with history, and old towns protected by medieval walls tell the country’s colourful past. From centuries-old churches and monasteries to baroque palaces and maritime heritage, you’ll get a deeper insight into the country on our Dalmatian Coast tours. The UNESCO city of Split is another wonderful destination, where modern culture and Roman landmarks exist harmoniously. Add to this a mountainous backdrop and emerald waters, and you have one of the most scenic settings on our Dalmatian Coast trips.

Kissed by the Mediterranean sun, Croatia is also world-renowned for its stylish restaurants and pavement cafes. You’ll find it hard to resist traditional dishes such as black risotto, Istrian ham and the freshest seafood you’ve ever tasted.

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.

This 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.

My wife and I travelled to Croatia and participated in an Exodus Travels cycling trip through the Dalmatian coastal islands of Croatia. The trip met and exceeded our expectations and our fellow travelers were awesome and guide Alan Skulic was fantastic. Could not have asked for a better person to help us travel and bike worry free and really enjoy the trip. We biked 100 miles in four days which was very doable for us. Great balance of free time and group time.

The accommodations were very nice – we especially enjoyed the resort on Korcula Island.
