The area around Dubrovnik, Kotor and the wider Balkans is one of Europe's finest cycle touring cycling destinations.

The scenery is spectacular. You cycle beside the deep blue waters of the Adriatic, through medieval walled towns, around the beautiful Bay of Kotor, and then climb into dramatic limestone mountains with breathtaking views. 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 and village 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.
