Discover the Unmatched Charm of the Adriatic by E-Bike & Yacht
Guarded by the magnificent Velebit mountains and Istria’s coast, the Kvarner Bay islands offer a serene Mediterranean escape. Crystal-clear coves, dramatic moonlike landscapes, and lush green hills form the backdrop of this unforgettable journey, where historical harbor towns welcome you at every stop.
Premium Comfort Meets Island Exploration
Every day begins with an energizing breakfast before setting off on guided island discoveries—from Rab’s medieval streets to the tranquil flower island of Molat. Your home for the week is the stylish motor yacht Andela Lora, featuring spacious private cabins, separate showers, and a sunny deck to unwind. Evenings are spent strolling through romantic coastal towns, tasting local cuisine, and relaxing under the stars.
ROUTE
Cycling highlights include the seaside route to Veli Lošinj, the wooded roads of Dugi Otok and its panoramic ridge, the distinctive stone-walled landscapes of Pag, and the vineyards and traditional villages of Krk. The historic town of Rab and the old town of Zadar add a strong cultural dimension to the itinerary.
The route covers approximately 196 km and follows a broader itinerary than the regular Kvarner Bay tour, from Omišalj through Cres, Lošinj and Molat to Dugi Otok and Zadar, before continuing to Pag, Rab and Krk. The tour is paced for e-bikes, while gravel bike riders are also welcome if they have the fitness to comfortably match the group tempo. Each day, the yacht moves to a new destination, providing a floating hotel experience with daily breakfast and one or two warm meals on board. You can also take a day off from cycling and relax on the yacht, while rental bikes are available or you can bring your own bike by prior reservation.
