Pedaling out of Stari Grad at dawn, salt light pools in the shallow coves and pine-scented wind pushes you along a ribbon of coastal road. Cyclists pass vineyards and olive groves, cross sun-baked stone walls and dip into shadowed pine track as the island unfolds in chapters — fishing inlets, sleepy villages, and high terraces.
