Cycling day trip from Cres to Mali Lošinj

This ride whisks you from the charming old town of Cres to the bustling port of Mali Lošinj, spanning about 67 km through Croatia’s stunning Adriatic islands. Starting in Cres, known for its medieval streets and relaxed seafront cafés, you’ll meander south along a mix of paved and gravel surfaces—the route is a blend of main roads, tracks, and scenic paths. Be ready for some ups and downs: there’s roughly 1,450 meters of ascent, so you’ll earn those sea views!

The journey takes you across the rolling heart of Cres island, past olive groves and limestone hills, eventually crossing to Lošinj, famed for its aromatic pine forests. Mali Lošinj itself is one of the sunniest towns in Europe, known for its colorful harbor and lively vibe. There are a few busier stretches, but plenty of quieter paths and tracks to soak up the scenery. Pack extra water, pace yourself on the climbs, and get ready for some gorgeous island cycling!
