ABOUT THIS EXPERIENCE
The northwest Istrian coast is made for casual cycling: a flat, quiet coast road from Umag north through the olive groves to Savudrija cape and back, with the sea on one side, stone villages on the other, and no climb worth the name.
WHAT YOU’LL EXPERIENCE
What you’ll experience
An hour out, an hour back at tourist pace, with stops at the coves, the groves and the cape. Bikes rent by the hour in Umag; the loop extends toward the Slovenian border for anyone wanting the kilometers.
