Our coastal routes are all about riding along beautiful coastlines enjoying sea views, lovely beaches, swimming breaks and exploring charming little ports and coastal villages. Some routes follow the rugged Atlantic coasts of France, Spain and Portugal while others trace the more tranquil shoreline of the Mediterranean in Croatia, Italy, France and Spain.
Stopping at a gorgeous beach for a cooling mid-ride dip is one of the many appealing treats of these rides as is coming across that perfect little seafood restaurant with a table in the shade just waiting for you.
Some of our coastal holidays are also Bike and Boat holidays. On these tours you'll stay aboard a motor yacht, complete with crew, and cruise to a different port or island each day for wonderful rides through stunning scenery.
Our easy cycling holidays offer short daily rides on mostly level terrain. A typical day’s ride will take 2 – 3 hours at a leisurely pace and the remainder of the day will be free for you to explore further or simply relax. These rides are particularly recommended for newcomers to cycling holidays and for families.
Our leisurely cycle holidays will suit those who are reasonably fit through regular exercise of one kind or another – not necessarily cycling.
