Afterwards there will be time for a swim in the bay with crystal clear water. In the afternoon you will leave Osor, crossing over a swing bridge to reach the island of Losinj. You will cycle along the panorama-route to Mali Losinj, an old seafaring and health resort. The ship will be waiting for you in the large harbour with its numerous cafés and colourful houses. You will spend the night in the harbour of Mali Losinj .
Day 3 (Tue) The islands of Losinj and Molat (approx. 40 km / 25 mi . by bicycle)
Along the seaside walk you cycle to the south of Losinj and visit the picturesque small harbour of Veli Losinj before you will meet the ship for lunch. In the afternoon you cross over to the island of Molat, where you will do one more short cycling tour. Overnight stay in the quiet harbour of Molat.
Day 4 (Wed) The island of Dugi Otok (approx. 45 km / 28 mi . by bicycle)
While you have breakfast, the ship will take off and take you past many small islands to the “spice island” of Dugi Otok. Your bike-tour will start in the bay of Bozava, which is surrounded by woods of pine, agave and tamarisk trees, and you will ride on a road nearly free of traffic. In the harbour of Savar you will meet the boat for lunch. While cycling in the afternoon to the fishermen village of Sali you will be impressed by the terrific views on the deep-blue sea and the surrounding islands.
Day 5 (Thu) The island of Pag (approx. 35 km / 22 mi . by bicycle)
After a cruise until lunchtime, you will reach the island of Pag . In the harsh but delightful landscape of the island you will come across many fig and olive trees. Over the centuries the inhabitants have built numerous stonewalls for protection against the wind. You will bike on the narrow peninsula until you reach the sea, where the ship will be waiting to take you 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 you can explore the narrow alleys with numerous cosy cafés.
Day 6 (Fri) The island of Rab (approx. 25 km / 15 mi . by bicycle)
You will bike along the coast to the east side of the island, an area with virtually no vegetation, whose rough and cliffy rocks remind of lunar landscape. The road will lead you on to a bay with a sandy beach, which is rather atypical for the Kvarner islands. At lunchtime the ship will be waiting for you in the harbour directly in front of the old town of Rab . Afterwards you will be cycling on the green peninsula to the north of the island. In Lopar you will meet your ship again. After a swim-break the ship will take you over to the neighbouring island of Krk , where you will spend the evening in the historical town of Krk.
Day 7 (Sat) The island of Krk (approx. 50 km / 31 mi . by bicycle
You 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-metre-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 you on across the island through old villages and rich vegetation to Omisalj, from where Rijeka will be within your sight. On the way, you will have a chance to swim in the bay of Soline . You will spend the last night in Omisalj.
