Cycling day trip from Poreč to Karojba

Starting your ride in Poreč, a beautiful coastal town famed for its Roman history and the UNESCO-listed Euphrasian Basilica, you’ll head inland on a journey that contrasts seaside vibes with rustic Istrian countryside. This 35 km adventure features a good balance of climbs (nearly 600 meters of ascent!) and rolling terrain, making it an ideal route if you enjoy mixing a workout with exploration.

The path is a true gravel lover’s delight: about 44% of the ride is unpaved, and you’ll spend over half your time on farm tracks and quiet country roads. Expect sweeping vineyard views, truffle-rich oak woods, and tranquil little villages along the way. Don’t worry about traffic—busy roads are few and far between.

Your destination, Karojba, is a charming hilltop village perched over green valleys—perfect for a post-ride coffee while you soak in the scenery. If you’re up for it, chat with locals for tips about nearby trails or the best spots for fresh Istrian cuisine. Don’t forget to pack some water and a snack—this is one to savor!
