Your bicycle can also take you to the islands which, come the hot days of summer, may not be quite so green, but the blue of the surrounding sea more than compensates for it. The shipping lines between the islands run on a regular daily basis, and the cost of transporting your bicycle is minimal. The combination of a cruise with bicycle tours of the area is growing in popularity. Having embarked on a cycling adventure across the islands your itinerary must include the national parks of Mljet and the Brijuni Archipelago, or indeed the larger islands - Krk, Cres, Rab, Pag, Ugljan, Pasman, Dugi otok, Brac, Hvar, Vis and Korcula.
