Cycling day trip from Poreč to Seča

This scenic ride starts in the lovely coastal town of Poreč, famous for its UNESCO-listed Euphrasian Basilica and laid-back Adriatic vibes. The route to Seča takes you north along the Istrian peninsula, covering about 59 km (give or take), and gives your legs a good workout with almost 600 meters of climbing along the way.

You’ll mostly be on paved and asphalt surfaces, though expect a few stretches of gravel and unpaved tracks—great for mixing things up and keeping things interesting. It’s a relaxed ride in terms of traffic: most of the way winds along quiet roads and scenic cycleways past rolling vineyards, olive groves, and tiny villages where time seems to stand still.

Once you reach Seča, you’re a stone’s throw from Portorož and the beautiful salt pans of Sečovlje, a unique natural area on the Slovene coast. Perfect for a leg-stretch or a relaxed drink by the seaside. All in all, a brilliant mix of coastal scenery, countryside, and Istrian charm!
