Gita in bici di un giorno da Curzola a Vela Luka

This ride takes you from the historic town of Korčula—birthplace of Marco Polo—across the winding spine of Korčula Island to the laid-back port of Vela Luka. Expect around 51 km of varied riding with some serious ups and downs: over 1,200 meters of climbing! You'll be pedaling through classic Dalmatian scenery, with olive groves, vineyards, and sweeping views over the Adriatic.

Much of the route is off the beaten path: only about a fifth is asphalt, with a healthy dose of gravel and unpaved tracks, so a gravel or mountain bike is your best bet. The climbs can be punchy, but you'll earn panoramic rewards from the island’s ridgeline before a rolling descent into Vela Luka, known for its relaxed vibe and beautiful sunsets.

Bring plenty of water, be ready for changing surfaces, and enjoy this real-deal island adventure—Korčula to Vela Luka is a great way to experience the wild side of Croatia’s islands!
