You will explore the east side of the island and its finest parts cruising out from the unique medieval town of Korcula. Having passed through scenic countryside of the less biked roads you will arrive to the spread out village of Lumbarda boasting wonderful beaches as well as over 2500 years of wine making tradition.
Having checked along the way a couple of great spots revealing their mysterious origin and harmony with the space around them, a longer and well deserved break will be at a winery. The concept is really simple: while relaxing in shade and tasting locally produced snacks and indigenous wine sorts coming from the nearby sandy soil, (to be found only in this part of the island), you will also learn more about the history, local traditions and ways. After that it’s time to bike on and check Lumbarda's sandy beaches for a refreshing swim.
The tour has been designed to enjoy its every little moment while evoking the spirits of ancient and nearly forgotten times blended with a feeling of the Mediterranean serenity and lifestyle.
Roads are a mix of asphalt and gravel passing through fields, villages, and coves with views opening to the mountain of Saint Ilija, magical old vineyards and endless horizon.
Ride back to Korcula town can be straight or with little more sideways and that’s a decision to be taken on the spot depending on your cycling abilities and preferences.
