Planning a ride on the Adriatic? How about Croatia?
A pedal-powered tour along the coast of Dalmatia offers beautiful views of the sea. There are over 200 sunny days per year. Enjoy fresh seafood; combine bicycling with island-hopping; or explore Dubrovnik.
Incidentally, the Dalmatian city of Split is the birthplace of the composer Franz von Suppé. Beautiful Galatea, anyone?
For mountain lovers, there are cycling tours in the Dinaric Alps; these, however, require expert fitness level. This mountain range rises to almost 9000 feet in some places, and is one of the most rugged ranges in Europe. If I were crazy enough to try riding there, I might want to get myself an ebike!
I can’t say how easy it would be to find English speakers in Croatia. Apparently your chances depend on which region of the country you visit. On top of that, could you find someone familiar with cycling lingo?
If your budget is tight; or if you simply enjoy the challenge of penny-pinching, here are some ideas you could try. Go during the off-season; choose accommodations wisely, etcetera.
On the whole, Croatia is safe to visit. Try the cuisine. Most important of all, have a good time while pedaling on the Adriatic.
