Croatia Motorcycle Tour: Experience Istria

This Croatia motorcycle tour begins in the Villach/Faaker See area, where you meet your tour guide and the group over a welcome dinner. The following morning, the guided Adriatic motorcycle tour sets off through southern Carinthia and Slovenia to Opatija, your base on the Adriatic coast for the next five nights. From here, day trips take you to the Plitvice Lakes, island hopping in the Kvarner Bay, and into the Istrian hinterland. Whether on your own motorcycle or a rental BMW, the route is designed for experienced riders.

Highlights

Opatija on the Adriatic

For five nights, Opatija is your base right on the sea: day trips set out from this elegant spa town, and evenings end on the Lungomare promenade or in one of its relaxed bars — a true anchor point of your Croatia motorcycle tour.

Plitvice Lakes Excursion

A trip to a UNESCO World Heritage Site: the Plitvice Lakes stage of this motorcycle tour leads you through dense forests to turquoise waterfalls made famous by the old Winnetou films, before mountain passes carry you back to the coast.

Kvarner Bay by Ferry

Two car ferries, three islands: the Kvarner Bay leg of this motorcycle tour takes you via Cres and Lošinj, past fishing villages and the historic arched bridge at Krk, before returning you to the mainland near Rijeka.

Istrian Hinterland

This motorcycle tour heads into the heart of the peninsula: past Pazin Castle, through medieval truffle towns, and over the hairpin bends of the Učka mountains back to the Opatija riviera on the Adriatic.

Island Hopping by Bike

Island hopping by motorcycle means switching between car ferry and coastal road, discovering hidden villages on the island of Cres, and enjoying a coffee break in the picturesque harbour of Krk.
