Know Before You Go!

We want you to be fully prepared for your cycling vacation of a lifetime. This involves making sure that you choose the appropriate trip for you and that every aspect of your experience is flawless. Each Trek Travel trip is unique to ensure maximum enjoyment every time.

Your Trip Need to Knows:

  • Croatia offers somewhat challenging hilly terrain for cyclists, but the effort is rewarded with beautiful views of the sea and the Dalmatian Islands.
  • Dinners are genuine culinary experiences so they might take longer that what you are accustomed to. This is part of the Mediterranean culture emphasizing the “no stress” lifestyle.
  • If you’re joining us during the hotter months (July, August, and early September), expect earlier ride departures to beat the heat, allowing for some extra time for an afternoon dip in the Adriatic to cool off!
