1 week ex Rijeka – departures on Saturdays

1st day: between 11:30 am and 1:00 pm, boarding in the port of Rijeka; shortly afterwards we set sail in direction to Malinska, on the island of Krk. Here starts the first bicycle stage: From Malinska, over Sv. Anton, Nenadici and Vrh, to Krk, the capital of the homonymous island. Dinner and overnight stay in Krk (approx. 22 km by bicycle).

2nd day: After breakfast we continue our bike tour across the island of Krk. First we will go to Dobrinj, in the central part of the island. We then continue to Vrbnik, an ancient town, perched on a cliff on the east coast of Krk. The vineyards of Vrbnik are famous for their goldencoloured Zlahtina wine. We will stop for lunch in a cosy tavern in Vrbnik, before continuing in direction of Baska, in the south of the island. The 3 km steep climb to the highest point of the day will be rewarded with a panoramic view over the Bascanska Draga, a fertile valley that stretches all the way to the coast on the southern part of the island. Dinner and overnight stay at the harbour of Baska (approx. 43.5 km).

 Since the overnight stay in Baska may depend on the weather, in case of adverse wind conditions, the bicycle tour will end in Punat (approx. 36 km).

3rd day: The sailing boat will take us to Lopar, north of the island of Rab, only a short cruise away. By bicycle, we will cross the entire island, from north to south, passing Supetarska Draga, Kampor, Rab, Barbat and Pudarica, riding all the way to Misnjak; we will then meet our boat in the harbour of Rab, with the unmistakable backdrop of the Old City with its four bell towers. Lunch at a restaurant during the bike tour or in Rab. Dinner and overnight stay in the harbour of Rab (approx. 43.5 km).

4th day: Only a good half hour by boat and we will reach Lun, at the northern tip of the neighbouring island of Pag. The island stands out above all by its extremes – partly meagre, like a lunar landscape, partly covered with lush green mountain fields, where numerous sheep graze, “producing” the famous Pag cheese. First we ride to Novalja, the main town of the northern half of the island, where you can have lunch at a restaurant or in a tavern. We then continue to Kolan and finally to Mandre, where our boat will be waiting in the harbour. Dinner and overnight stay in Mandre (approx. 35 km).

5th day: Today a somewhat longer boat journey lies ahead of us: about four hours from Mandre to Mali Losinj, on the island of Losinj. Heading south, we anchor for lunch on board in a bay of one of the small islands south of Losinj. On arrival at the harbour of Mali Losinj, we unload our bicycles to discover the unique richness of nature with its vast pine forests. We ride round the Cikat Bay, along the coast and through the Suncana Uvala (the Sunny Bay) to the picturesque harbour town of Veli Losinj. Here you can enjoy a nice dinner in one of the numerous restaurants of Mali Losinj. Overnight stay in Mali Losinj (approx. 21.5 km).

6th day: The “2-Islands-Day”. After breakfast, we jump on our bikes and ride from Mali Losinj over Nerezine to Osor, where the islands of Losinj and Cres are connected by a swinging bridge. Through Belej and Stivan we reach the Bay of Martinscica. We load the bikes on the boat and continue to the town of Cres, the capital of the homonymous island. We will have lunch during the tour on the island of Cres; dinner and overnight stay at the harbour of Cres (approx. 46 km).

7th day: The final bike tour leads us from Cres 14 km north to a vantage point near the village of Predoscica and back. We will have lunch in Cres and then load our bicycles for the last time. Leaving the harbour of Cres, we will sail to a bay in the north of the island, to take a long last swim in the blue Adriatic Sea, before returning to Rijeka. Dinner and overnight stay (approx. 28 km).

8th day: After breakfast, disembarkation until 9:00 am.
