Cycle the Balkans - Croatia to Albania 2026 - 8 Days

Arrive at Dubrovnik Airport (DBV) and take a transfer to our hotel, located in the pleasant Lapad area. Dubrovnik is a magnificent fortified city, fronted by the Adriatic and overlooked by the slopes of Mt Sd . Its limestone-paved main street, the Stradun, is bordered by Baroque palaces and churches, restored following the medieval city plan. The mighty stone ramparts are known the world over and, provide views of the terracotta rooftops, hidden courtyards, and the sea itself. For those arriving in Dubrovnik earlier in the day, consider exploring the historic Old Town. Luggage can be safely stored at the Dubrovnik main bus station, located a 10-minute walk from the airport transfer drop-off point. From there, you can take a short bus ride to the Old Town. Your tour leader or an Explore representative will provide further guidance. This evening, we'll meet our tour leader and fellow cyclists for a welcome briefing to prepare for the days ahead.
