DESTINATIONS CYCLING | EUROPE


Moderate Mljet, Croatia


CYCLE CROATIA AND THE BALKANS INTREPID TRAVEL For more-experienced cyclists looking to up the pace a little, the Dalmatian Coast is an excellent bet, with climbs offering rewarding views over the Adriatic. Intrepid’s 14-day tour spans three countries and runs from Split to Sarajevo, taking in Brač Island, Hvar, Dubrovnik and beyond. Other stops include Montenegrin port town Kotor, the fourth-century city of Nikšić and the lakeside town of Plužine, with Roman ruins, medieval towns and Bosnian villages greeting guests


along the way. Book it: From £2,675 including bike hire, support vehicle,


accommodation, activities and some meals, with departures from May 2022. E-bikes are also available. intrepidtravel.com


SELF-GUIDED CYCLING IN MAJORCA KE ADVENTURE TRAVEL Majorca may be more associated with fly-and-flop beach holidays than cycling trips, but don’t dismiss it. KE Adventure has an eight-day, moderately-rated trip taking in the salt lakes of Llevant, the white-sand beaches of Es Trenc and the caves of Porto Cristo before hitting the slopes of the Unesco-listed Serra de Tramuntana mountain range for some adrenaline-pumping inclines

“Sales are not back at pre-Covid levels, but as we emerge from lockdowns we have seen web visits and bookings picking up, especially for summer 2022. There is a dual effect: not only is the prospect of exploring by bike in clean fresh air more appealing than busy built-up places, but since lockdown a lot of people have also become more active in their everyday lives. There’s been a huge uplift in UK bike sales and cycling in general, and many of our customers want to carry this on and are considering a cycling


holiday – perhaps something they never thought about before. We’ve added several cycling tours in response, including Cycle Hadrian’s Wall, which has proved really popular, our Coast to Coast trip across the north of England, and new trips in Poland, Spain and the Balkans.”


and descents. It ends in Playa de Palma for a dip in the sea, with a stop on the way in the Roman winemaking village of Binissalem


for a tipple or two. Book it: From £840 including accommodation, some meals, luggage transfers and bike hire, with departures in September and October. keadventure.com


PORTUGUESE WAY: COAST AND CAMINO UTRACKS


If hiking is the only thing you associate with the Camino, it’s time to expand your horizons. This ancient network of pilgrimage routes might have its origins in


on-foot voyages, but the Camino has become a hotspot for bikers in recent years too, with cyclists pedalling their way from various starting points to reach the iconic Santiago de Compostela. For one of the most scenic routes, suggest UTracks’ eight-day itinerary on the Camino Portugues, which wanders along the Atlantic Coast and then crosses into Spain, passing old fishing villages, medieval cobbled towns and verdant pine forests, showing an alternative side to these


two scenic countries. Book it: From £1,050 including hotels and guesthouses, some meals, mountain bike rental, luggage transfers and route notes. utracks.com
