Croatia has beautiful and large cycling paths. In national parks and nature parks circular cycling routes are marked. If you happen to find yourself at the Plitvice lakes you will be able to enjoy some of the most beautiful cycling routes to be found anywhere in Europe.
Your bicycle can also take you to the islands which, come the hot days of summer, may not be quite so green, but the blue of the surrounding sea more than compensates for it. The shipping lines between the islands run on a regular daily basis, and the cost of transporting your bicycle is minimal. The combination of a cruise with bicycle tours of the area is growing in popularity. Having embarked on a cycling adventure across the islands your itinerary must include the national parks of Mljet and the Brijuni Archipelago, or indeed the larger islands - Krk, Cres, Rab, Pag, Ugljan, Pasman, Dugi otok, Brac, Hvar, Vis and Korcula.
