Sérgio and I planned this year a longer journey with the bicycle, we wanted to ride to the sea. We had visited Croatia on previous ocasions and we knew that it was really beautiful and towns were not far apart, but the landscape it´s not the easiest for bike touring. We looked for information (concerning bike touring in Croatia) in travel books and in the Internet, but we were not particularly successful with the search. Not at least as much as expected.

A biketour in Dalmatien is exciting, but not suitable for everyone. It is nearly everywhere hilly, only the Magistrale (the road at the coast) is rather even, but unfortunately very strongly used by cars and trucks. The motorway at the coast will change completely the situation soon, as all traffic will be done on it. So we decided to drive trhought the islands - Pag, Hvar and also Rab, where there are cycle tracks (however most are more suitable for mountain bike rather than trekking bikes).
