Tour Facts Sheet
Croatia's Dalmatian Coast has been a favorite seaside destination among central Europeans for over
a century. Explore this spectacular limestone coastline by bicycle! You'll begin in Split where you'll see
Diocletian's 3rd century palace still inhabited by descendants of the Romans who settled this area. On
your ride you'll pedal three of the Mediterranean's most picturesque islands -Brač, Hvar and Korčula
