This bike & boat tour with the MS Amore offers lots of nature and culture: big forests on island Mljet, the famous red wine Dingač, and worth-seeing historic centres of Split and Dubrovnik which are part of the UNESCO world cultural heritage.
You go on board between 12:00 and 14:00 in Trogir. At a „Welcome-Aboard“ drink hosted by your tour guide, you are invited to a small snack before setting off during the afternoon to the island of Brač. There, you will go off on a small bike tour from Supetar to Pučišća.
Right after breakfast, the boat casts off for the island of Korčula. It is known as the black island because of the pinewoods here.

Tolles Reiseerlebnis mit vielen Highlights wie Trogir, Korcula, Dubrovnik. Zeitlich unglücklich verlief nur der Besuch von Dubrovnik. Wir kamen bei Anreise in die Rush-Hour und waren erst kurz vor Sonnenuntergang vor Ort. Wermutstropfen: Das Essen an Bord ließ leider zu wünschen übrig. Nicht informiert wurden wir vorab darüber, dass ein Captains-Dinner stattfand. Nebenkosten an Bord waren eher hochpreisig. Mit bis zu 37 Personen war unserer Meinung nach die Radgruppe etwas zu groß. Individuell zu fahren wurde ungern angeboten und war nicht erwünscht. Zu empfehlen sind E-Bikes, auch wegen des Gegenwindes, der auf den Inseln durchaus auftreten kann.
