In bici da Valleggia a Isola d'Istria

Hop on your bike in Jagodje and cruise over to the lively coastal town of Izola! This super chill ride is just over 3.3 km—perfect for a laid-back afternoon outing. You’ll glide mostly on smooth cycleways, so it’s ideal even if you’re not an experienced cyclist. The route gently descends towards the sea, with only a tiny bit of climbing at the start—meaning you’ll mostly be coasting and enjoying the fresh Adriatic breeze.

Jagodje is known for its peaceful vibe and proximity to Slovenia’s only sandy beach, Simonov Zaliv, so maybe dip your toes in before you set off. As you roll into Izola, you’ll notice its charming Venetian-inspired old town, packed with tiny cafes and boats bobbing in the harbor. If you’re up for it, reward yourself with a scoop of gelato or a look around the vibrant marina.

It’s almost all asphalt and quiet roads, making it a super accessible and scenic way to hop between two Adriatic gems!
