Cycling day trip from Piran to Poreč

Get ready for a scenic ride from the charming seaside town of Piran to the equally picturesque Poreč, covering around 68 km in a day. Begin your journey in Piran, a delightful Slovenian coastal gem known for its Venetian architecture and narrow alleyways. As you set off, you'll find yourself cycling mostly on quiet roads and cycleways, which make for a pleasant and relaxing experience.

The route is mainly asphalt, but keep in mind around 13% is gravel, so a sturdier bike might come in handy. You'll encounter a mix of gentle ascents and descents along the way, with the max elevation reaching just a bit over 100 meters. The countryside views, vineyards, and Adriatic Sea vistas will surely keep your spirits high as you pedal along.

Crossing over into Croatia, you'll weave through charming little towns until you reach Poreč. This beautiful town is famed for the UNESCO-listed Euphrasian Basilica, as well as its lively old town where you can unwind with some fantastic Istrian cuisine. Whether you're a seasoned cyclist or just out for a leisurely ride, this route offers a lovely blend of culture, nature, and history. Happy cycling!
