Croatia is surely a country with a natural predisposition for cycle tourism. The traditional destinations for holidaymakers are mainly on the Adriatic coast, but many beautiful areas are hidden within the country. The phenomenal beauty of Gorski Kotar with the best air quality in Europe thanks to huge and ancient forests and the continental side of the Velebit mountains clad in dark and fresh pine forests, are both desirable destinations for all nature-loving cyclists. The bright and gentle plains of Slavonija generously provide home-grown food, and roads leading to eastern Europe. For the cyclists who want to enjoy the Mediterranean side of Croatia, 18 the best destination is the island of Hvar, one of the «top ten» islands in the world. This island has a cycle route map called «Cycling through history». Hvar boasts the highest number of sunny days in Europe.
