12 Reasons to Bike The Dalmatian Coast (Croatia)


We had a week biking along the Dalmatian Coast in Croatia.  Despite a heat wave, it was a wonderful trip.  Highlights:

1. Biking mile after mile of gorgeous coastline with amazing views.







2. Biking up really long hills resulted in really long downhill zooms!



3. Lavender was in bloom.


4. We picked fresh blackberries, plums, and figs along the roadside.


5. We stopped for picnic lunches in olive groves,


and octopus peka (cooked "under a dome") in a vineyard.


6. We rode through (and stayed in) beautiful old stone villages and cities.





7. Kittens.


8. A forest fire along our route on the island of Hvar gave us the chance to see, up close and overhead, planes dumping sea water to extinguish the flames.


9. Sunsets.



10. Amy and Sarah joining with a group of children flinging pebbles at sunset.


11. Dalmatian traditional singing and dance.



12. Marco and his friends in Stari Grad (we ate at this restaurant because we heard him singing from across the square).
