Cycle the Balkans

The area around Dubrovnik, Kotor and inland Montenegro is one of Europe's finest cycle touring cycling destinations.

The scenery is spectacular, from the deep blue waters of the Adriatic, through medieval walled towns, around the beautiful Bay of Kotor, and the dramatic limestone mountains. In just a single day, you can go from the coast to high mountain landscapes.

Away from the busy coastal stretches, there are many quiet, well-surfaced roads winding through traditional villages, olive groves and vineyards. Inland Montenegro, in particular, offers peaceful cycling with very little traffic.

The region is also rich in history and culture. Venetian, Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian influences have all left their mark, giving each town its own character.

Starting in Cavtat in Croatia,we cycle south around the Bay of Kotor before tackling the famous Kotor serpentines to Cetinje, the ancientcapitalof Montenegro. The route then crossed into Bosnia and Herzegovina before finishing in Dubrovnik. Expect plenty of climbing, rewarding descents, and outstanding views throughout one of Europe's most beautiful and interesting cycling regions.
