CYCLING THE DALMATIAN COAST

Written June 2013
It's quite simething at the age of 64 having had many previous holidays of all kinds, to say that this was the best holiday that I have ever had. However, that's the truth, from begining to end it exceeced all my dreams. The country is beautiful, the guide could not have been better and the people that I travelled with were great company.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
The last day in Dubrovnik was truly memorable, the weather was perfect and the city had so much to offer. My abiding memery was relaxing for an hour alone with coffee and cake watching the world go by, and contemplating what I had experienced over the previous few days. The cycling was hard but the views were amazing, lunch at the family restaurant and dinner at the farmhouse were extremely good but most of all I remember the group of people that helped to make this such wonderful holiday.
What did you think of your group leader?
Krsto was very good company and fun to be with, spoke perfect english and had a wry sense of humour. He was very organised and capable, I had complete confidence in his ability to cope with any situation that may have arisen. Exodus are lucky to have him as their representative.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Just for anyone who may be apprehensive about a cycling holiday. This was my first ever activity holiday and I only started cycling six months ago, so I was concerned that I may have been too old, unfit and inexperieced to enjoy it. Well I took longer that most to complete the hills but did manage without having to resort to the bus, and I felt under no pressure from the faster riders. So give it a try, no more beach holidays or cruises for me it's cycling from now on.
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Just a brilliant holiday. Can't wait for the next one.

Ana was amazing, strong, fit and just a wonderful personality. Made the trip for us. Local knowledge re the rides and local resturants. Very confident and organised. 10 out of 10 for her enthusiam.

I am a mature lady and just cycle for pleasure, you just need a reasonable level of fitness and confidence on the bike. This trip is just the most amazing way to see Croatia.

I must say I think Exodus has got the cycling trip holidays just right, this was our third one plus one walking holiday in Maderia. You must be doing something right because most on the trip and enjoyed other Exodus trips.

Ana -was a great guide, sharing lots of local knowledge and keeping us all organised and good at issuing clear instructions so we didn't get lost.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
I would recommend being reasonably fit- the coast line isn't flat, but nothing too steep.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
The bluest sea I have ever seen.
What did you think of your group leader?
She was fabulous. She was knowledgeable and humourous. Also she kept it real, told us the length of the hills, the gradient, gave clear and concise directions. As a group we were really well looked after. Excellent choice of restaurants and routes and stopping points. Also she took us to the best IceCream in Europe.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
This is a must do trip. Big Hills but lots of time to do them. Big Downhills too!!
Is there anything else you would like to add?
Go to Mjet. In fact do all the optional rides.

CYCLING THE DALMATIAN COAST

Written September 2012
An amazing holiday in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. The islands were beautiful and the towns of Hvar and Korcula inspirational. It was great to have all of the travel arrangements organised, especially the ferries, and excellent restaurants recommended and booked. It was also fantastic to have the back up vehicle on hand for the transfers, snacks and the 'just in case' moments. The bikes were easy to ride and in good condition.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
I was very nervous prior to the holiday about being able to cope with all the uphill rides. I had a real buzz from completing all the rides and loved the challenges they set. Visiting the islands was superb and the scenery made you forget the undulating routes. Having risen to the challenge of the uphills the downhills were exhilarating with truly amazing views.
What did you think of your group leader?
Krsto was excellent. He was supportive to those at the back of the 'peloton'. He was knowledgeable about the places we visited and had a great sense of humour. He made arrangements for us to visit some amazing restaurants. A truly inspirational leader!
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
I took my own saddle as well as others who also took their own peddles - a good move! Although I had been out cycling prior to the trip the uphills were certainly longer than I had anticipated. To get the most from the trip it would be prudent to do some uphill training prior to the trip. Having said that, the ascents are not particularly steep, just long and the superb scenery and lovely descents make up for all the undulations!
Is there anything else you would like to add?
This was my first organised group holiday and I have been waxing lyrical to everyone I meet about the whole trip. The cycling was a challenge but on completion of each ride I had a real sense of achievement. The others on my trip were great company and I thoroughly enjoyed cycling with different people at different times. We cycled together, ate together and laughed together - fantastic people. This has been a truly amazing holiday. I am already looking through the Exodus brochure for my next 'challenge'.

What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?
Completeing the 10km climb in 30+ degC.
What did you think of your group leader?
Very fit and very tolerant young guy. We would have liked to hear a bit more about the history and culture of Croatia but realise that some of it might still be quite raw.
Do you have any advice for potential travellers?
Some of the hotels are a little basic.
