Croatia Lux
Bike & BoatThis is more than a cycling tour; it’s a journey through the heart of Croatia’s storied landscapes and a celebration of its seafaring soul.
Istrian peninsula
Istria is a famous peninsula in Croatia and, certainly, one of the most impressive destinations in the entire Adriatic. Absolutely enchanting beaches, fascinating hilly landscapes and romantic mountain villages are just some of the most beautiful attractions to discover by bike! But above all, it is the world-famous coastal towns such as Pula, Novigrad and Rovinj that attract countless visitors from all over the world every year. Furthermore, the culinary offer of this region is also fantastic. A varied Mediterranean cuisine, excellent wines, the best olive oil and local truffles make a vacation in Istria a true pleasure.
Krk Island
Krk Island is the largest island in Croatia. This island pearl is especially famous for its numerous paradisiacal beaches, beautiful nature with high mountains and charming coastal towns. And of course the unique charm of iconic Krk’s bridge makes this island a real highlight in Croatia. All in all, a visit to Krk is highly recommended.
Cres island
Cres Island, a gem nestled in the Adriatic Sea, offers a serene escape into nature’s embrace. Cres is an untouched paradise for explorers and nature enthusiasts alike. Is not just an oasis of natural beauty, but a cyclist’s dream. With a landscape that unfolds in lush forests and a coastline dotted with hidden coves, it’s a place where every pedal stroke leads to discovery. The island’s tranquil villages, with their narrow, cobblestone streets and traditional stone houses, tell tales of a rich, storied past. Cres also delights the palate with its local culinary specialties.
lošinj island
Island Lošinj, known as the island of vitality, is a picturesque cycling destination where Mediterranean fragrances and a healing climate await. Cyclists can navigate the island’s diverse landscapes, from aromatic pine forests to the vivid blue sea, creating a sensory journey with every ride. The network of trails invites all levels of cyclists to explore, connecting the charming port town of Mali Lošinj with secluded beaches and hilltop viewpoints that offer sweeping panoramas of the Croatian archipelago.
Pag Island
It’s no wonder that in recent years the Croatian Island of Pag has become the location for so many movies. Due to the strong “Bura” wind, the island has very little vegetation. As you land at Pag you are immediately hit by Pag’s barren, rocky and vast moonrock-type landscape. There is no other place like this in Croatia, that’s for sure. The island is often referred to as “The Moonrock”!
Alongside this alien-like moonscape, Pag Island is surrounded by clear and brilliant blue Adriatic sea waters. Pag Island is connected to the mainland with iconic Pag’s Bridge.
