Epic Rides Poreč

March 21, 2026

Istria at its most authentic

Istria is a Croatian gem – a renowned tourist destination, but also a region whose true beauty reveals itself beyond the peak season. When the crowds fade away, the pace slows down, and the peninsula returns to its natural rhythm, Istria shows its most genuine face.

 

In this period, when vineyards and olive groves have already been harvested and the aromas of local cuisine drift from every home and traditional tavern, Epic Rides invites participants on a unique cycling journey across Croatia’s largest peninsula. Spring in Istria offers ideal riding conditions – pleasant temperatures, quiet roads and trails, and landscapes painted in warm tones of earth, stone and sea.

 

Poreč, a town rich in history and Mediterranean spirit, is best known for the UNESCO-listed Euphrasian Basilica, its seaside promenades, and the perfect balance of culture, nature and active living.

 

Epic Rides Poreč is not just a ride, but an experience of place, time and local lifestyle. It brings together nature, tradition and outdoor activity, far from everyday rush and routine. At a time when Istria breathes at its slowest, the bicycle becomes the most natural way to explore it.

 

Epic Rides takes you to Poreč – to an Istria few get the chance to experience.
