The Adriatic Highway constantly shifts between different breathtaking scenes. One moment, you’re hugging the cliffs above the sea, with only a steep drop separating you from the water; the next, you’re winding through rocky inland terrain, where the sea is just a distant whisper. Despite being a coastal road, it offers a surprising amount of variety—you’ll never find it monotonous.
Pay attention to the road signs warning you of missing guardrails in some sections.
There’s no boredom behind the wheel, either. The road is a rollercoaster of climbs, descents, and sharp corners. Both cars and drivers will appreciate the smooth asphalt, with potholes being a rare sight.
Since it’s a two-lane road, extra caution is required—especially in summer, when you’ll share the route with not only sightseeing drivers but also cyclists and camper van drivers. Be sure to have your lane-keeping and collision-avoidance systems active, as it’s all too easy to get lost in the scenery.
