An official paved cycling loop passes through Kmeti, making it an appealing destination for travelers who want to combine cycling with wine or cultural experiences. Nearby, horseback riding, museum visits, historic architecture and seaside activities add to the area’s appeal.
Cycling Routes Through Kmeti
The official 31-kilometer cycling loop runs through Umag (Katoro), Murine, Kmeti, Buščina, Farnežine, Vardica, Juricani, Čepljani, Lovrečica and Špina, before returning to Katoro. It is fully paved, rated easy, and has an estimated riding time of 2:30 to 3:00 hours. Allow extra time for breaks and sightseeing. In Kmeti, the route reaches a somewhat busier road; particular caution is recommended at this point. Traffic conditions can change, so pay attention to the current situation there.
Another official cycling route to archaeological sites and wine roads turns toward Kmeti and then continues in the direction of Sveta Marija na Krasu. This means two different cycling routes connect with Kmeti: a paved loop with a stated distance and riding time, and a route focused on archaeology and wine.
Wine and Horseback Riding
Vina Fiore in Kmeti, Srbarica 48/L, offers cellar and vineyard tours with wine tasting. Please confirm that it is currently operating before your visit.

If you are also considering a horseback ride, the nearby Goli vrh equestrian center offers organized tours on forest trails. These rides are available by prior arrangement.
Culture and Architecture Nearby
The nearby Umag Museum displays archaeological objects from the Roman period, including amphorae, oil lamps and Roman vessels. Some of the museum’s rooms are also used for exhibitions by contemporary artists; the exhibition program may change. Ancient artifacts and contemporary art are thus presented side by side.
At nearby Stancija Seget, the layout is defined by a symmetrical, three-winged Baroque composition. The central building dates from the 18th century, while most of the agricultural buildings date from the 19th century. The different construction periods give the complex a clear historical context.
Kmeti and Sveta Marija na Krasu form a connected settlement area. In Sveta Marija na Krasu stands the single-nave Church of the Blessed Virgin Mary of Grace. It was built in the 16th century on the site of an older church and restored in 1991; its bell tower dates from 1930.
