Solta Island - Last Day 😒

Published on 20 September 2024 at 13:34

 

We set sail early on a glorious morning, heading toward Solta Island. The sea was calm, the sunrise breathtaking, and the journey peaceful. Today marks the final cycling adventure of this trip. 

If you're considering a trip, I highly recommend combining cycling and sailing in Croatia. The country is stunning, brimming with beauty, and offers endless sights to explore. I can’t wait to return someday to visit the places we didn’t get to see. 😊 

 

 

We arrived on the stunning Solta Island under glorious sunshine, and I must say, this is my favorite island so far. Each island has its own charm, but to me, Solta is by far the most picturesque πŸ₯°.

The olive oil tasting experience was exceptional, and trust me, you’ll want to take some home. My personal favorite is the garlic-infused olive oil—simply divine πŸ§„.

The mountains here are absolutely breathtaking—far more majestic and imposing than I ever imagined.

Good friends truly make moments like these even more special. I feel so fortunate to share this adventure with two wonderful ladies who have made it unforgettable.

E-bikes are an absolute game-changer for exploring a place like this 🚴‍♀️—effortless, fun, and perfect for every terrain.

And the Adriatic Sea? It’s pure bliss. Swimming in its crystal-clear waters is nothing short of magical.

 

 

The majority of olives πŸ«’ grown on the islands are cultivated for producing olive oil rather than for direct consumption. Croatian πŸ‡­πŸ‡· wine is absolutely delightful, and we've had the pleasure of sampling a variety of them throughout the week. 

We’ve found Croatian people to be incredibly warm and hospitable. Based on the abundance of flags displayed everywhere, it’s clear they are deeply proud of their heritage πŸ‡­πŸ‡·πŸ˜.

I’ve always believed there’s no such thing as a stupid question—though this week has proven to be an exception! Some of the questions we've encountered have been quite amusing. While I could share them, that would be a bit unfair πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚.


Thank you for joining us on this wonderful journey, and a special thanks to Tracy & Lucy for making it even more memorable. xx
