With another hectic peak season on Hvar coming to a close, the traffic on the island's roads undergoes a subtle change. Gone are the flash sports cars, Italian caravans and scooter rentals, to be replaced by Golfs, Zastavas and Renaults on the way to the locals' fields, even more so with the grape harvest imminent.
There is also an increase in the number of cyclists enjoying the scenery. With its challenging hills and spectacular views, Hvar is an attractive destination for cyclists, and there is no better month than September to cycle. The summer heat has receded, the restaurants are still open, and the weather is warm.
A recent initiative to improve information for cyclists has led to several signposted routes and an excellent map (one of the best of the island) of these routes, including details on elevation, distance and cycling time. It is available from the Jelsa Tourist Office. Click here for more details on the routes.
