    After a leisurely ferry cruise, you will arrive to the largest island of the central Dalmatian group of islands and the third largest among the Adriatic islands - Brač.

You will pedal to Sutivan, a typical fishermen settlement on the northern coast of Brač. After Sutivan you will cycle to the picturesque village of Ložišća and then you can continue your ride through the inland settlements, which are older, richer in cultural and historical monuments and architecturally much more interesting than the coastal ones.
