Istria - based in one hotel

Individual arrival at your first hotel in Poreč. We suggest a visit to the Euphrasian Basilica – listed as UNESCO World Heritage since 1997.

Today’s cycling day makes you explore the hinterland of Poreč. First along the coast to the bathing resort Santa Marina di Vabriga and then to Vabriga. You leave the coast again and continue cycling in the inland to Visnjan and back to Porec.

Today you will cycle from Poreč to the famous fjord-like Limski canal with its blue shimmering water. The Limski canal is a protected natural area and on its coasts you will find mussels- and oyster breeding. Through the inland you will get back to Poreč.

After a short transfer, you will reach the artists' village of Groznjan, which was first mentioned in a document in 1102. Today, Grožnjan is a meeting place for musicians from all over the world. During summer a lot of classical concerts with young musicians take place. In the second half of July you can join the festival “Jazz is back”. In the end of September artists meet each other for “Ex Tempore” - performing arts. From Groznjan you cycle passing Buje downhill to the Adriatic coast and along to Novigrad (in Italian Cittanova). This medieval town is surrounded by a defensive wall and is seated at the mouth of the river Mirna. On your way back you will pass the cave “Jama Baredine” – a dripstone cave, before reaching Poreč again.

After a short transfer in the hinterland of Poreč the first stop is Motovun, a formerly important strategic point of the Venetians, invulnerable on the top of a steep hill. You may surround this medieval town and enjoy the breath-taking view on the surrounded hilly landscape, the sea and the Mirna valley. Along the Parenzana you continue your ride to Vizinada from where you will see once again the impressing town of Motovun before going back to Poreč.

Today you can enjoy a rest day by the sea. Porec is home to some of the most beautiful beaches in Istria - from dreamy pebble beaches to fine white sandy beaches, Porec has something for everyone

After a short transfer to Kanfanar, you cycle to Rovinj, one of the most beautiful towns in Istria. Surrounded by the Adriatic Sea, you will be greeted from afar by the towering bell tower of the Church of St Euphemia, which stands on the highest square in Rovinj. In Fazana you have the opportunity to take a trip to the Brijuni Islands on one of the many boats. Continue to Pula, the largest city in Istria. It is best known for its ancient sights such as the amphitheatre. The return transfer to Porec takes place in the evening
