Pick your own Adventure: An unforgettable journey from Croatia to Greece
Choosing our own adventure: With this goal in mind, Celine, Felipe, and Marko recently set out on an adventure in our reliable camper, accompanied by our GHOST Lector mountain bikes.
Our trip took us from the enchanting island of Otok Krk in Croatia to the breathtaking coasts of Greece. This journey promised not only picturesque views but also challenging trails that made our adventure-loving hearts beat faster.
Croatia: Perfect Loops and Coastal Paths
Our journey began on the dreamy island of Otok Krk, where a coastal landscape awaited us, enchanting even the most experienced adventurers among us. The next stop in Pag offered a diverse mix of gravel roads along the coast and opportunities to relax at dreamy coves. We continued to Split, where we explored trails perfect for endless loops. Starting along the coast, cycling through villages along paved roads, and returning via trails with impressive views of the Adriatic, we completed our tour.
