The Tour

Island Hopping in Northern Dalmatia - Krka waterfalls

Island hopping truly is the correct term for this cycling holiday, as a multitude of large and small, mostly green islands are on the itinerary. Zadar and Šibenik are the urban highlights, but this bike tour "Island Hopping in Northern Dalmatiain" is shaped by forests, the sea and beaches with great swimming opportunities. A bit of stamina won’t go amiss as a lot of the islands feature slight inclines from sea level. However, if you don’t feel like it - why not stay aboard the luxurious motor yacht MY Olmissum.
