Cycling day trip from Mali Lošinj to Cres

Get ready for a classic island adventure! This ride connects Mali Lošinj with Cres, taking you along some of the most scenic stretches the islands have to offer. You’ll cover just over 65 km and face a respectable amount of climbing—meaning awesome panoramic views are guaranteed, especially as you wind through the lush hills and crest at nearly 300 meters.

The first leg begins in Mali Lošinj, a lively harbor town famous for its historic villas and blooming gardens—perfect for a morning espresso before you set out. The route mixes paved and asphalt sections (about half the way), with a few tracks and paths to keep things exciting. Watch for stretches on busier roads and keep an eye on the changing surfaces, especially where information is missing. You’ll earn those sea breeze descents after some serious ascents!

Finish in the medieval heart of Cres, a delightful old town with cobbled streets, cozy waterfront cafes, and a well-earned gelato waiting for you. Pro tip: Take it slow and soak in the Adriatic views—this ride is as much about the journey as the destination!
