The Experience

Before You Go

Bring a light windbreaker

Sea breezes off the Adriatic can be sharp even on warm days—pack a lightweight layer that folds into a daypack.

Hydrate between stops

Carry a reusable water bottle; the ride includes several brief stops but limited on-route shops for quick refills.

Wear grippy shoes

You’ll dismount on cobbles and beach access points—closed-toe shoes with traction improve comfort and control.

Charge your phone beforehand

The guide may use digital maps and you’ll want photos of the Sea Organ and Greeting to the Sun at golden hour.

E‑biking reduces local emissions compared with motor vehicles; visitors should stick to marked paths, take litter home, and respect marine life along the coast.
