Cycling day trip from Sali to Ugljan

Cycling Route: Sali to Ugljan

Kick off your ride in Sali, the lively main village on Dugi Otok island. Known for its old fishing traditions and colorful summer events, Sali’s harbor is the perfect place to begin—grab a coffee by the sea before you set off!

The route to Ugljan covers about 56 kilometers, offering you a real taste of Croatia’s island-hopping beauty. Most of the way is made up of cycleways and quiet roads, so you’ll find a peaceful rhythm as you pedal alongside Mediterranean pines, olive groves, and sweeping coastal views. There’s a mix of paved and unpaved surfaces, so a hybrid or gravel bike will feel at home here.

You'll roll along gentle hills—there’s a bit of climbing and descent but nothing too daunting. The highest point is around 85 meters, which means rewarding views without monster inclines.

Your ride finishes in Ugljan, a charming spot known as the “green island” for its lush scenery. Unwind by the old Franciscan monastery or at one of the harborside cafes. This route is perfect for soaking up Adriatic vibes at an easygoing pace!
