Cycling in the Cyclade and Saronic islands with dramatic scenery
In the South Aegean off mainland Greece is a group of more than 30 islands known as the Cyclades, whilst closer to Athens are the Saronic Islands, dripping in history. Whitewashed houses with blue shutters, a labyrinth of narrow streets flowing through cobblestoned villages, sandy beaches and a relaxed island lifestyle attract visitors from all over the globe. Taking in these obvious attractions, this cruising and cycling adventure delves further into the interior and coastlines, exploring little known coves and impressive geological formations, ancient sites and untouched villages. Cruising from island to island, we'll spend plenty of time ashore exploring fishing villages and historic sites by bike or just relaxing on the secluded beaches far away from the busy resorts and enjoying authentic Greek hospitality.
Highlights
- Exploring the small towns and villages en route
- Swimming and snorkeling in the azure waters of Kea and Poros islands
- Soaking up the hospitality onboard the comfortable gulet
The daily cycle tours range from 15 to 35km/10-22mi through hilly and mountainous terrain and can be completed without any time-constraints. Participants will also need to master some steep climbs, during which you may need to push the bike. You are free to set aside a half or full day to swim or spend on board the boat, instead of taking a planned bike-tour. We recommend considering an e-bike if you are not confident cycling up hills.
