From this week, you can explore the Istrian resort of Poreč and its surroundings on two wheels thanks to a series of free guided cycle tours. You can bring your own mountain bike or rent one on-site.
Cyclists can choose from a number of trails, through picturesque countryside or tarmac roads, along routes between 20km and 45km long, from five starting points. As well as coastal Poreč, you can set off from Funtana, Tar-Vabriga, Kaštelir or Vižinada.
Sights include the observatory at Višnjan, Baredine cave and the Dušan Džamonja sculpture park.
The tours are free but you should bring your own water and snacks. Mountain bikes, helmets and other equipment can be rented on-site. Riders must be at least 14 years of age and in reasonable shape. An emergency vehicle will be on hand, just in case.
Tours take place every weekday, Mondays through Fridays, until June 28. Reserve your place at least 12 hours in advance on +385 91 604 1713 or through bikecenterporec@gmail.com.
