Trogir
Trogir - a true pearl on the Dalmatian coast! The historic city center is home to many historic buildings and the Old Town is a UNESCO World Heritage site.

Green Cave
Close to the island of Vis is an unspoiled natural attraction, the Green Cave. Through a small opening in the ceiling arch, sun rays give the sea a magical green color.

Island of Korcula
The island of Korcula has numerous small secluded beaches and bays and is rich in culture and art. The capital of the island is a typical medieval city.

Split
Split is the largest city in southern Croatia and is considered to be the "capital of Dalmatia". The range of sights is great, so the city center and the Diocletian Palace has been a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage since 1979. The heart of the city is the Old Town, which is located on the south coast of the peninsula of Split.

Tour

The journey takes place individually either by car to Trogir or by plane to Split Airport, which is about 5 km from Trogir embarkation port. After checking in on your motor yacht between 2 p.m. and 2:30 p.m., the first longer cruise begins at around 3 p.m., taking you from Trogir to the island of Vis, where you spend the night.

Vis is the furthest island in Croatia from the mainland and looks back on a long history. It was known as a Greek colony under the name Issa over 2,300 years ago. Due to its strategically important location, Vis was a restricted military area for a long time and remained inaccessible to foreign tourists until 1995. Today you have the opportunity to discover the charming island on a bike tour. Afterwards, your boat will take you to the island of Korčula, where you will spend the night in Vela Luka.

Today's programme includes a bike tour on the picturesque island of Korčula. Take a break on the way and enjoy lunch in one of the charming local restaurants. The island impresses with its peaceful atmosphere, characterised by lush gardens and towering cypress trees - a picture that makes Korčula one of the most charming islands in Dalmatia. Your route takes you through the idyllic village of Blato, which - like Rome - was built on seven hills. Cycle over a pass road to the breathtaking bay of Pupnat and finally to the town of Korčula. The picturesque old town centre with its herringbone-shaped alleyways invites you to explore and linger.

Early in the morning, your boat sets off for the island of Hvar while you enjoy your breakfast on board in peace and quiet. Before you reach the island's capital, you will have the opportunity to take a refreshing swim directly from the boat and enjoy a relaxed lunch at anchor. Once ashore, you can soak up the lively atmosphere of the impressive Renaissance square in the town of Hvar and let your gaze wander up to the majestic Spanish Fortress, which towers over the town. Today's cycle tour takes you from the town of Hvar to some of the most beautiful viewpoints on the island. Cycle past the fragrant fields of wild lavender flowers to the charming town of Stari Grad. This second largest settlement on the island of Hvar is known for its safe harbour and the picturesque stone facades that shape the character of the town.

In the morning, you cross over to the island of Brač, which is famous for its bright white limestone - this was used in the construction of the White House in Washington and the Reichstag in Berlin, among others. Once you arrive in Milna on Brač, hop on your bike and start your tour up the island, enjoying breathtaking views of the Dalmatian coast. After the ride, head down to the coast to Postira, where you can spend a relaxing afternoon. Here you have time for a swim and can end the evening in the quiet, picturesque atmosphere of this charming coastal town.

During breakfast your ship will take you to Split. Today you have the choice between a bike tour or rafting on the Cetina. If you choose the bike tour, take a short but panoramic tour to the green heart of the city of Split - Marjan Hill. If you decide to do the rafting tour, a transfer bus will pick you up from the ship. The rafting tour (not included in the travel price) is a special nature experience and takes place with trained guides. After this adventure, the transfer will take you back to the ship. You will then have the opportunity to cool off with a swim at the beach. In the afternoon, explore Spilt on a guided tour of the picturesque old town, into which the famous palace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian was built.

After the short crossing to Rogač on the island of Šolta, you will set off on your last bike tour. Walled fields, numerous olive groves, carob and fig trees line the road. The spicy scent of lavender and rosemary accompanies you as you drive across this tranquil island. Your ship is waiting for you in Rogač for the last crossing back to Trogir, where there is still enough time to visit the old town, which is a World Heritage Site. Afterwards, let your eventful journey come to an end with a cozy dinner and final evening on board.

After breakfast disembarkation until 9 am and individual trip home or extended stay in Dalmatia/Croatia.

The planned route is always subject to possible changes due to nautical, meteorological or organisational reasons. If, for example, a route cannot be travelled due to low water, high water, bad weather or construction work, the captain reserves the right to change the route for your safety. This is not a legally valid reason for cancelling the trip free of charge. The same applies in the event of officially ordered lock or bridge repairs or in the event of engine or propulsion damage to the ship through no fault of the captain.

As your ship usually sails to the next harbour on the same day, your time frame for your own activities and sightseeing is limited. On some bridges, the clearance height is so low that the sun deck is closed for your safety.

Arrival by plane
Arriving by plane is the fastest, cheapest and most comfortable way to get to Trogir. The nearest airport is Split (SPU) - it is only about 6 km away from the port of Trogir. To get from Split airport to the port in Trogir, we recommend using a taxi. A taxi ride costs around 20 euros. You can also use the regular bus number 37, which leaves right in front of the airport building towards Trogir and takes about 15 minutes to Trogir port. A bus ticket costs about 2.50 euros per person.

Arrival by car

Parking options in Trogir:
In Trogir, we will be happy to organize a secure parking space for you on a private property near the port upon prior notification. Prices on request, payable locally upon arrival. Please reserve the parking space in good time before you start your journey. Please note: There is no insurance in Croatia that insures your vehicle against theft and burglary in the parking spaces provided by us. Damage of this kind is only covered by the local comprehensive insurance. If you have booked a parking space, ask one of the tour guides at the ships when you arrive. He will guide you to a guide who will drive ahead of your car, guiding you safely to the parking lot. After you have parked your car, the pilot will take you back to the ship in his car.

Requirements
The tour is designed exclusively for e-bike riders with a good basic level of fitness. The routes climb between 400 and 700 metres. The daily stages of 30-60 kilometres lead through hilly and mountainous terrain and are cycled without time constraints. Instead of a cycle tour, you can also take a half or full day on the boat. All tours require a certain basic level of fitness and safe handling of the bike.

Available rental bikes
There are 11-speed women's e-bikes with low entry available (please indicate your preference in the comments and questions field when booking).
The bikes are each equipped with an Ortlieb pannier.
The tour is advertised as an e-bike tour and can therefore only be booked with an e-bike. 

Bringing your own e-bike
Due to safety regulations on the ships and to protect the health of the tour guides, it is not possible to take your own e-bike on board. 

Helmet compulsory
Helmets are compulsory on our cycle tours. Please bring your own, well-fitting helmet. A limited number of rental helmets are available for adults (reservation required in advance!). Children must bring their own helmets.

Catering
The accompanying cook is a member of the crew and prepares an extensive breakfast and one or two warm meals every day. Meals include 2 x full board and 5 x half board. Meals begin with dinner on the day of embarkation and end with breakfast on the day of disembarkation.

Extra costs which are not included in the tour price
Sum for local taxes and drinking water on board and on the bike tours (payable locally to the captain): 60 euros per adult or 30 euros per child up to and including 16 years.
Drinks on board (tally sheet, payable locally to the captain), meals and drinks ashore are not included in the price and are payable locally.

7 days hotline service
Just in case the bike chain is broken, flooding makes it impossible to continue your tour or any other nasty surprise: you can reach us seven days a week and we will do anything to help you as fast as possible.

Passport and visa requirements
For EU citizens, there are no special passport or visa requirements and no health formalities to be considered for this trip.

Travel insurance
The tour price already includes the statutory insolvency insurance. In addition, we recommend that you take out travel cancellation insurance upon receipt of your travel confirmation in order to protect yourself against financial disadvantages in the event of travel cancellation, interruption of travel, illness or accident.
