The Experience

Before You Go

Helmet and bike fit

Helmets are provided — make sure it sits level and the guide adjusts the e-bike height before you ride.

Hydrate & sun protection

Carry at least 1L of water and wear sunscreen; sun on the Adriatic can be intense even on breezy days.

Watch for cobbles and pedestrians

Expect short stretches of cobblestone and busy pedestrian areas; slow down and follow your guide through traffic.

Charge and stamina

E-bikes assist climbs but don’t replace fitness—bring energy snacks and inform the operator if you’re concerned about stamina.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Bene Beach’s small pine-shaded cove for a quick dip
  • A quiet viewpoint on Marjan’s north ridge with local fishermen’s shelters

Wildlife

  • Mediterranean gulls and terns
  • Small lizards basking on sun-warmed limestone

Conservation Note

Stay on marked paths, avoid trampling pine undergrowth, and carry out all trash; e-bikes reduce emissions but respect local flora and wildlife.

Marjan has been a communal green space and religious retreat since medieval times, while Split below grew around Diocletian’s 4th-century palace.
