Western Route

Since 2003

Islands, islets, and reefs – on this journey, you’ll see over a hundred of them! Historic island towns bustling with life, like Rab and Mali Lošinj, will alternate with unique natural scenery and forgotten, sleepy island villages. A special feature is embarking or disembarking in the stunning, still relatively undiscovered Šibenik and one day dedicated to exploring a magical stretch of coastline either near Šibenik or Zadar – depending on the direction of the voyage. The Western Route can be experienced twice, with the reverse journey offering a slightly different perspective.

Cycling
This journey may be less demanding than other sailing routes due to smaller elevation gains. However, it still offers exciting opportunities for off-road cycling and summit challenges with panoramic views, even for athletic riders. A 2023 highlight is the significantly extended time dedicated to cycling – a full day on Rab with excellent new trails, a proper cycling Friday in both directions (Vransko Lake or Vir and Nin), and ample time to explore Pag, including its „capital.“ This year, the Western Route has transformed from a more leisurely sailing trip into a full-fledged cycling adventure. | 6 cycling days.
