1st day:
From 11:30 am to 1:00 pm, boarding time in the port of Zadar, our bicycles are awaiting you already on board. Our
representatives and guides will welcome you aboard with a drink and you will get to know the crew and the other passengers.
After a lunch snack "Cast off!", heading towards Preko on the island of Ugljan. We load our bicycles from deck and
ride from Preko via Kali and Kukljica to the bridge that connects the islands of Ugljan and Pasman. We continue via Dobropoljana,
Nevi&ane and Pasman to Tkon, where our ship is expecting us. We return to the mainland and moor in Biograd. Dinner on
board and overnight stay in Biograd (approx. 29 km by bike).
2nd day:
After breakfast we sail to the nearby Pakostane, where our today´s bike tour through the nature park Vransko Jezero will start.
The Vransko Jezero (Lake Vrana) is the largest lake in Croatia; the park covers an area of 57 km2, the largest part is the
lake itself (30.2 km2). The freshwater lake extends along to the coast, and in some parts it is less than a kilometre from
the sea. This natural park with its wetlands is an ornithological reserve with a wide variety of species. We ride past the
ornithological reserve to the old castle from the !!th century and continue on the remains of an ancient Roman road that leads
around the lake and overlooks the entire park. In Prosika we´ll stop for lunch before returning to our boat in Pakostane,
where the circle of our round trip closes. We set sail to the popular tourist resort of Vodice. Dinner and overnight stay
on board in Vodice (approx. 43 km).
3rd day:
From Vodice we ride up the mountain Okit; on the peak there is a pilgrimage church, from where we have a magnificent view
over the sea to Vodice and the offshore islands. We continue through macchia and along wheat fields to Bribirske Mostine,
which was a crossroad of caravan routes in the Middle Ages. There, we start the climb to Bribirska Glava, one of the most
important archaeological sites in Croatia from the !"th century. From there, we ride along vineyards and olive groves
down towards Skradin, where our ship is waiting for us. We can have lunch in Skradin and visit the "Skradinski Buk",
the most popular part of the national park with the famous waterfalls; here, the River Krka on 800 metres rushes down 46 metres,
in 17 falls, with up to 100 metre broad cascades. In the late afternoon we continue to Sibenik. Sibenik, mentioned for the
first time in 1006, is the youngest of the larger cities on the coast, and at the same time, the oldest Croatian town; as
it was not built by Greeks, Romans, or Byzantines, but founded by Croats. The most famous building in the fortress-like old
town is St. Jacob´s Cathedral, the most important Renaissance monument in Croatia. Dinner on board and overnight stay in Sibenik
(approx. 40 km).
4th day:
During breakfast, we leave Sibenik, set course for the Kornati islands National Park and enjoy the quiet of the 125 mostly
uninhabited islands and islets that constitute the national park; there, we will take a swimming break. After lunch on board
we will continue to Sali on the island of Dugi Otok. We unload the bikes and ride through the Telascica Nature Park, located
in a deep bay in the south of the island of Dugi Otok. We ride uphill to the famous cliffs and then to the salt
water lake "Mir", where we again take a swim before returning to Sali. You can have dinner at a restaurant in Sali;
overnight stay (approx. 21 km).
5th day:
The island of Dugi Otok is called "Long Island" for a good reason - it is about 44 km long and in some parts only
a few hundred metres wide. Today, we will cross the whole island from south to north by bicycle. From Sali, we ride via Zaglav
and Zman to Brbinj, where our ship awaits us with lunch. Those who do not like to continue by bike after the lunch, can stay
on the ship for the rest of the day. Who has got enough condition, will continue via Dragove and Bozava to the lighthouse
of Veli Rat, which marks the north-western tip of the island. From the lighthouse we ride to the unique bay of Saharun, where
we will have a swim break before returning to our ship which moored in Bozava in the meantime. For overnight stay, we head
for one of the coves nearby, or to the island of Molat. Tonight, the Captain´s dinner will be served. (approx. 27 or 60 km).
6th day:
During breakfast, we weigh anchor and sail to the island of Pag. We moor in Mandre and ride by bike across Kolan
to the big bay of Pag. We continue along the coast, past Bosana, to the capital of the island, the town of Pag. Pag is a masterpiece
of the architect Juraj Dalmatinac, who has planned and built the city in the 15th century. The remains of the ancient walls
and towers bear witness to its turbulent past. We continue our tour along the old saline and dry stone walls to the ornithological
reserve of Velo Blato, a green paradise in the midst of a lunar landscape. In the village of Vlasici, in the south of the
island, we will meet with our boat, which takes us to the island of Vir. Dinner and overnight aboard (approx. 42 km).

of 265 m on the homonymous peak. From there, we enjoy one of the most beautiful 360° panoramic views over the Croatian islands.
From the Kornati islands in the south to the island of Ist in the north, from Dugi Otok in the west to the island of Pag and
the Velebit mountain range in the east. After a short break, we´ll ride downhill to Preko and to our boat. After lunch on
