“Croatia is a hidden gem with so much beauty and history. Exploring it by bike allowed me to experience it in the best possible way.”
-Claire, Trek Travel Guest
Croatia and the Dalmatian Coast are some of Europe’s favorite luxury destinations. From Dubrovnik to Korcula to Hvar, there is so much to see and do in this historic and extravagant region. While there are countless draws to come here, discover our top 5 reasons to visit Croatia with Trek Travel.
Brilliant blue and shimmering, the Adriatic Sea will take your breath away. As you cycle along the Dalmatian coast, enjoy stunning views of the water below. Take to the water on a private boat to swim and soak in the sunshine.
Croatia’s cities have delicious and delightful restaurants to choose from, but heading out into the countryside offers a whole new perspective on the local cuisine. Delight in a traditional Croatian feast at a family-owned “konoba” or taste locally made olive oil and jams at an olive oil mill. Make sure to try some of Croatia’s famous dishes during your visit, including Peka, a meat and vegetable dish that is slowly roasted under a cast iron bell.
While walking, biking, and boating, discover the rich history of Croatia’s cities, including Korcula and Hvar. Partake in a walking tour of Korcula to learn more about the many rulers of the city, dating back to Greek rule in 6th century BC, or explore the 16th-century towers in the Hvar harbor as you stroll the chic surrounding town.
Soak in the luxury of Croatia’s best accommodations. Walk to Dubrovnik’s Old Town from Hotel Bellevue or enjoy views from the hotel terrace overlooking Miramare Bay. In Korcula, rest your head in a Relais & Châteaux property renovated from an 18th-century bishop’s palace. Relax in a rooftop pool or luxury spa at the boutique Hotel Adriana in Hvar. Each property offers beautiful scenery and exceptional amenities.
From lush valleys filled with vineyards, olive groves, and tangerine, fig, or mulberry trees to breathtaking limestone ridges set against the blazing blue of the sea, your senses will be alive while cycling through the natural beauty of Croatia.

Tennessee may not jump to mind as a bike travel destination, but if you’re looking to dip a toe in the cycling world from a single luxurious base instead of moving each night, Trek Travel’s trips from Blackberry Farm and Blackberry Mountain, near Knoxville, can’t be beaten.
Serious cyclists have long gravitated to the area for its mix of low-traffic roads, rolling terrain and ferocious climbs. But Trek Travel guests have it easier with high-end e-assist hybrid bikes (or top=end performance road bikes), which carry you along twisting backroads and trails that always return you to your world-renowned hotel.

Pedaling across the United States has long been on Tania Burke’s “sprocket list,” as they say in cycling circles.
For the time being, however, she has to enjoy the grueling, 3,400-mile, 42-day ride that gains 141,000 feet – an average of 93 miles and more than 3,800 feet of climbing a day – from her office in Madison, WI, where she toils as president of Trek Travel. Not that Burke – who is married to Trek Bicycles president John Burke, making them perhaps the ultimate cycling power couple – doesn’t get in lots of miles.
Ever since my bad knee finally gave out at Tough Mudder in 2017, I have been looking for … something. I loved my half marathons, triathlon sprints, mud runs and obstacle course races. These events all gave me a purpose in the gym and goals to achieve and friends to train with.
But with a bad knee that will dog me for the rest of my life, my doctors have told me to stop running. I turned to cycling, and it has become a good alternative for me – and I hope you think about it for yourself, too. In the last few years, thanks to riding in the Trek 100, the Scenic Shore 150 and taking a Trek Travel vacation riding through Tuscany, I have discovered the joy of pushing for longer distances and bigger hill climbs.
Monument Valley: “It’s just an unbelievable landscape,” says Dave Edwards, a guide with Trek Travel for 16 years, of the desert scenery you’ll encounter on the approximately 45-mile ride that stretches along Route 13 from northern Arizona to southern Utah through Navajo Nation’s Monument Valley Tribal Park.
In terms of difficulty level, the route, which is slightly hilly and open to cars, is best suited to intermediate riders, Edwards says. Extend your stay overnight and experience yet another pinch-me panorama: an “unreal” sky of stars, he says.
Multi-sport trips are offered all over the world, but classic spots include Costa Rica and Belize in Central America, New Zealand, Italy’s Dolomites, and South America, especially Chile and Argentina.
Not surprisingly, the companies specializing in cycling and hiking trips like … Trek Travel also offer multi-sport options, and because they often have trips focused on all three activities in the same areas, they have the best guides and infrastructure.
We’ve made some of our most popular adventures even better with some extra-special additions, moments and features. Whether it’s wine, luxury or lavish itineraries, you’ll find more of what you love, and more magic in every moment.
If you’ve dreamed of Spain, you’ve dreamed of Andalucia. This is quintessential Spain. Andalucia is limestone peaks, white villages, spectacular views.

There is no place on Earth like the five villages of Cinque Terre. And no way to see them like this. Join us for this adventure and see for yourself. We’ll pedal a selection of rides from the dramatic mountains that dominate the Tuscan coast to the winding streets of the Italian Riviera to discover the stunning beauty of the Cinque Terre. This UNESCO World Heritage site is home to thousand-year-old villages perched on top of sheer rocky outcroppings, connected only by walking trails and a narrow-gauge 19th-century railway. Food is the showpiece of this special destination, and we’ll introduce you to some of the best and most exotic, including handmade focaccia, fresh anchovies, and the locally-sourced pesto. All at once, Cinque Terre is sure to seduce, charm and beguile you with its best.
Is it too bold to say that the Texas countryside was actually made for cycling? Well, then let’s be bold, because we think the meandering roads, gentle ascents and bike-friendly rural highways of this super-sized state are begging for two wheels. For decades, Fredericksburg and the surrounding hills have been a revered training ground by anyone that has put rubber to the road. The seemingly endless asphalt around Gillespie County is perfect for Texas-sized mileage, where even short rides can easily go long as way leads on to way. Here you will ride the many roads that pros use for offseason winter miles and good, old-fashioned Southern hospitality. Texas Ride Camp has 4- and 6-day options to suit any rider’s training needs.

At the crest of central Oregon’s 5,325-foot McKenzie Pass, a black-and-gold swallowtail butterfly landed on the handlebars of my bicycle before flitting to my open hand.
The butterfly didn’t know I was using an electric-assist bike, which had made the ascent a pleasant experience rather than a sweaty grind. Everyone else in my Trek Travel group, except one woman from Texas, was on a regular road bike and had labored up the climb while she and I cruised, pushed uphill by an electric motor that felt at times like a magic hand on my back.
