Extreme Cycling With Mallorca Farmhouses

The idyllic Balearic island of Mallorca is known for its calm Mediterranean waters, quiet sandy coves and sleepy little villages, but it’s also home to majestic mountains and undulating rolling countryside – just waiting to be explored on a bike! For those with a need for speed (and stamina!) the Sierra de Tramuntana mountain range offers a multitude of challenging and gruelling twists and turns. For a real jaw-dropping route, take the road from Puerto Sóller to Sa Calobra and down the twisting coastal road to the Torrent de Pareis.

Accommodation specialist Mallorca Farmhouses (www.mallorca.co.uk / 0845 800 8080) offers a choice of properties in the mountainous north of the island. Finca Rafalet Piscola is a four-bedroom villa, nestled in the dramatic Tramuntana mountain range and surrounded by unspoilt countryside views. It’s available in August and September (when it’s slightly cooler) from £1,362 per week, which equates to £171 per person, based on eight sharing. Bike hire is available year-round with Pro Cycle Hire in Puerto Pollenca which delivers bikes to the villa for free from €20 per day, to include pedals and helmets.

Sail & Cycle With Sail Croatia

Available throughout September and October, travel along the coast of Croatia on a Sail & Cycle tour. Snorkel in secluded bays, swim to shore and jump on a bike to experience breathtaking views of the glistening Adriatic, cycling past lavender fields, olive groves and fragrant vineyards.

Perfect for couples, families with teenagers, young and mature travellers alike, the Sail & Cycle holiday is completely flexible, leaving travellers to cycle as much as they’d like. Expert guides ensure that a mix of levels and terrain are covered to cater to everyone and the best island treasures are visited, with each ride covering around 20-25 miles per day.

There’s also the chance to join a Mostar and Bosnia day trip, visiting the Kravica waterfalls and the iconic Stari Most bridge. Hearty breakfasts are prepared by the local crew to help kick start the day while afternoons can be spent cycling to small tavernas and guest houses for lunch, before returning to the small ship for a delicious meal cooked on board.

Autumn is the ideal time to embark on this adventure with temperatures slightly cooler but the sun shining and Croatia’s national parks looking picturesque and quieter than in peak summer months. Sail Croatia (www.sail-croatia.com / 0800 193 8289) is offering a seven-night Sail & Cycle southern route holiday from £369 per person. Valid for departure on 5 October, the price includes accommodation on board an Ensuite Ship on a half-board basis, private cabin facilities, bike and helmet hire and the services of an expert cycle guide and shore rep. Flights excluded.
