Giro veloce in bici da Pola a Medulin

This route takes you on a mellow ride from the vibrant city of Pula down to the laid-back seaside town of Medulin—two gems on Croatia’s Istrian Peninsula. Starting in Pula, famous for its impressive Roman amphitheater and lively waterfront, you’ll head southeast through a pleasant mix of quiet roads and country tracks, skirting rolling farmland and olive groves. The route is mostly smooth asphalt and paved surfaces, with a few sections of gravel and unpaved ground, so a hybrid or gravel bike is your friend here.

The journey is just over 15 km with some gentle rolling hills—expect a total ascent (and descent) of around 150 meters, but nothing too daunting. As you approach Medulin, the scenery opens up to coastal views and you’ll catch the salty breeze from the Adriatic. Medulin’s relaxed vibe and sandy beach make it a perfect spot to cool off after your ride—maybe with a gelato or some fresh seafood. Whether you’re a leisure rider or just out for a scenic pedal, this route lets you soak up a bit of Istrian charm between two historic towns.
