E-bike and Boat Tour of Dalmatia from Split to Dubrovnik

Day 1: Split
Individual journey to Split. Check-in on board starts between 2 and 2:30 pm at Split harbour. On a guided city tour at 4:30 pm, we get the opportunity to see inside the former Palace of Emperor Diocletian and learn about its transformation into the city it is today. The boat overnights in Split offering the guests an opportunity to experience Split’s nightlife.

Day 2: Split – Brač Island: Pučišća – Bol – Hvar Island: Jelsa (23 km)
In the morning we cruise to the island of Brač, famous for its radiant, precious limestone that was used in part for the White House in Washington as well as for the construction of the German Reichstag building in Berlin. Once on Brač, we cycle from the picturesque harbour town of Pučišća, known internationally for its stone masonry college, across the island to Bol. Close by lies the famous Golden Horn, a popular Croatian beach famous for its unique shape. Water lovers can enjoy a swim here before we continue on by boat to Jelsa on the island of Hvar.

Day 3: Hvar Island: Jelsa – Stari Grad – Korcula Island: Vela Luka (35 km)
Today’s cycling tour on the Island of Hvar leads us first from Jelsa to Stari Grad. After a short break we continue on by bike through lavender fields and small villages to the island’s capital, Hvar, on the opposite side of the island. Make sure to take the time to go for a little stroll through Hvar town before boarding the boat for the next crossing. Marvel at the magnificent Renaissance Square and enjoy a view up to the Spanish Fortress, towering high above the town. Dinner on board and overnight stay in the sheltered bay of Vela Luka on the Island of Korčula, regarded as one of the most beautiful islands in Dalmatia.

Day 4: Korcula Island: Vela Luka – Korcula (60 km)
Today’s cycle tour leads us across the charming island of Korčula all the way to Korčula town. A mild Mediterranean climate and a vast variety of different landscapes await us on this spectacular island. Take your time and don’t forget to take a break to enjoy the view over the deep blue sea and neighbouring islands. The picturesque town of Korčula competes with Venice for the honour of being the birthplace of the famous explorer Marco Polo. Spend the evening wandering through the fishbone alleyways and soak up in the atmosphere of this stylish town. A guided city tour will give you an overview of the city and its history.

Day 5: Korcula Island – Lastovo Island – Mljet Island (28 km)
Off we go! A morning crossing takes us to the beautiful Island of Lastovo. The island is one of the smallest inhabited of the Adriatic Sea. The Emperor Augustus appreciated the mild climate, and in Roman times it was even named Augusta Insula after him. The population of just over 800 still lives mainly from fishing, agriculture and viticulture. Today’s cycling tour takes us around the beautiful island. The gold-coloured white wine Marastina, known even beyond Croatia’s borders, is grown here. We enjoy a late lunch on board while cruising towards Pomena on the Island of Mljet.

Day 6: Mljet Island (28 km)
From Pomena, we cycle across the green, forested island, known as the honey island. With 70% of its landmass being covered by woodland it is the most forested island in the Mediterranean region. Homer mentioned this lovely island in his epic poem The Odyssey, making it the home of the Nymph Calypso and the legendary Greek king Odysseus who, unable to resist Calypso, stayed on Mljet for seven years. Our boat waits for us in Sobra. In the afternoon we cruise to the island of Šipan.

Day 7: Šipan Island – Dubrovnik (11 km)
Šipan is the largest of the Elaphiti Islands. Accompanied by your tour guide, a pleasant cycle tour takes us past villas with exotic gardens and through a fertile valley framed by limestone hills. Returning to the boat we enjoy our last crossing after an adventurous week. After our arrival in Dubrovnik there is plenty of time to explore the UNESCO World Heritage city and to take part on a guided city tour. A cheerful evening meal on board the boat provides plenty of time to celebrate the wonderful week with fellow travellers and tour guides.

Day 8: Dubrovnik
After breakfast disembarkation until 9 am and individual trip home or extended stay in Croatia.
