Murter is located in central Dalmatia and connected to the mainland by a short drawbridge at Tisno. Though small in size, the island offers an incredible variety – both in landscape and heritage. At the heart of our tour lies Betina, one of the last places in Europe where traditional wooden boatbuilding is still alive. A visit to the Betina Museum of Wooden Shipbuilding reveals the skills, tools, and life stories of the people who built the boats that shaped coastal life in Dalmatia.

Along the way, you’ll ride past century-old olive trees, dry-stone walls, pine forests, and quiet coves. We’ll stop at several scenic viewpoints and Slanica Beach, one of the most popular spots for a swim or a short rest.

After the ride, reward yourself with a taste of the island: fresh seafood, local olive oil, wine, and figs served in traditional taverns. Murter offers not just beautiful landscapes, but also the warm hospitality and easygoing rhythm of island life.

This tour is more than just cycling – it’s a journey through history, craftsmanship, and coastal tradition. On Murter, every stone, boat, and trail tells a story. Ride with us and become part of it.
