Individual arrival in Omišalj, a nice little harbor village on the island of Krk. If you’re planning to arrive by car, we will organise a safe parking space for you. The cabins on the motor yacht will be ready for you from 11 am. At ca. 1 pm the ship will sail and take us to the island of Cres in about four hours. From the town of Cres we may either to cycle to the village of Predoscica, situated at 350m above or to join a short guided tour along the harbour. In the evening we can take part in a short tour through the old town of Cres.

In the morning our ship will take us to Martinscica. From there we will cycle on the east side of the island among pine, fig and laurel trees to Osor, the artist town, where we will have lunch on the ship. Afterwards there will be time for a swim in the bay with crystal clear water. In the afternoon we’ll leave Osor, crossing over a swing bridge to reach the island of Lošinj. We’ll bike along the panoramic route to Mali Lošinj, an old seafaring and health resort. The ship will be waiting for us in the large harbour with its numerous cafés and colourful houses. We’ll spend the night in the harbour of Mali Lošinj.

Along the seaside walk we cycle to the south of Lošinj and visit the picturesque small harbour of Veli Lošinj before we meet the ship for lunch. In the afternoon we cross over to the island of Molat, where we’ll do one more short bike tour. Overnight stay in the quiet harbour of Molat.

During breakfast, the ship will leave and take us past many small islands to the "spice island" of Dugi Otok. Our bike tour will start in the bay of Bozava, which is surrounded by woods of pine, agave and tamarisk trees, and we’ll ride on a road nearly free of traffic. In the harbor of Savar we’ll meet the ship for lunch. While cycling in the afternoon to the fishermen village of Sali you will be impressed by the terrific views of the deep blue sea and the surrounding islands.

After a cruise till lunch time, we will reach the island of Pag. In the harsh but delightful landscape of the island we’ll come across many fig and olive trees. Over the centuries the inhabitants have built numerous stone walls for protection against the wind. We will bike on the narrow peninsula until we reach the sea where the ship will be waiting to take us to Rab. The island of Rab is one of the sunniest places in Europe. The town of Rab, the fortified capital of the island, was built in the middle ages on a wedge shaped headland, and marks one of the highlights of the trip. The four famous bell towers are the symbol of the adorned beauty of the town. After dinner we can explore the narrow alleys with numerous cosy cafes.

We will bike along the coast to the east side of the island, an area with virtually no vegetation, whose rough and cliffy rocks remind us of a lunar landscape. The road will lead us to a bay with a sandy beach, which is rather atypical for the Kvarner islands. At lunchtime the ship will be waiting for us in the harbor directly in front of the old town of Rab. After a swim break the ship will take us to the neighboring island of Krk, where we’ll spend the evening in the historical town of Krk.

We will cycle over the ridge of the island, which is covered by fragrant macchia to a valley of vineyards and then onwards to the small museum town of Vrbnik in the northeast. The town, built on a 50-meter-high cliff and surrounded by vineyards, is the home of the famous white wine, Zlahtina. Another peculiarity that Vrbnik has to offer is the second narrowest alley in the world. The way will lead us across the island through old villages and rich vegetation to Omišalj, from where Rijeka will be within sight. On the way, we will have a chance to swim in the bay of Soline. We’ll spend the last night in Omišalj.
