Nice ride around the Plaka area in Athens.
Athens Highlights Bike Tour
Very nice little tour through some of the historic areas in Athens. Easy riding but sometimes have to weave around a lot of pedestrians. The bikes worked fine.
Our guide Marios was very good, he spoke excellent English and was easy to understand. There where a number of stops where he explained some of the history or things to go see and do. Well worth spending a morning doing this ride.- What was the date of your tour?

Way ahead of expectations!
Greek Island Adventure by Bike and Sail
Our boat was beautiful and very comfortable with lots of gathering spaces, excellent food, friendly staff and guides. Our daily rides were well explained and designed with consideration of the groups abilities and interests.
All in all though it was the people taking care of us that made the difference. Each one appeared to be looking for ways to help or support our experience.
We had an excellent experience and would be very happy to repeat the trip.- What was the date of your tour?

A one of a kind boat bike tour!
Greek Island Adventure by Bike and Sail
I am fairly new to organized tours and of course to boat and bike tours. This trip has introduced me to a great way to see the world combined with my favorite sport-activity - biking and way to travel - by boat.... better still - sailing. The boat? 'Running on Waves' as was evident in the tour photos, is 1st class machine and piece of art and way to travel from port to port. a joy to spend a week on! The Crew? Since arriving at the check in and greeted by Leena and her energy - I've felt like the crew had one focus the entire tour. The guests. They all know their role and made us feel welcome the entire week..... with a smile and true interest in their work. The food? Fueling a troop of hungry bikers 3 times a day is no task for the faint hearted. An extensive buffet and varied meal was always waiting for us. And as for the guided bike rides every day of the tour? Its Greece - and yes - lots of hills. I am a fairly serious road biker - but you may want to go electric. There's a lot to see in Greece above 400 m. Alex is a master at herding biking cats and keeping them happy safe and somewhat educated. He knows the terrain as well as local culture. Its not all biking - stops included an olive press location, Monastery, and Vineyard. From the options I've seen out there - this is a one of a kind tour you might not want to pass up.

Great for solo travellers as well
Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
I came as a solo traveler and was a bit nervous about joining a group tour, but the friendly crew and fellow guests made it so easy to feel welcome. The blend of island hopping, cycling and swimming in the Aegean Sea was just the right amount of activity and downtime. Great value for a trip that really shows Greece differently.

Beautiful islands of Greece
Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
This trip was very enjoyable overall. The cycling routes were well planned and offered a nice variety of scenery, from quiet coastal roads to small island towns. The boat was comfortable and a pleasant place to relax after the rides, and the onboard chef did a great job — the meals were definitely one of the highlights. The group was friendly and diverse, which made for a relaxed and easy atmosphere throughout the week.
If there’s one thing I’d change, it would be to have dinner on board each evening instead of lunch, as it would be a nicer way to end the day together.

I've been looking forward to this trip for so long
Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
This trip was an absolute joy on so many levels. The cycling routes were beautiful, the boat was a perfect place to relax, and the onboard chef was fantastic. Our group was a great mix of nationalities — four couples and three solo travelers — which made for a fun and friendly atmosphere. One of the couples was actually on their honeymoon, adding a lovely and positive energy to the experience. The crew was professional and pleasant, though they kept a bit more to themselves than on some other trips — perhaps understandable, as it’s the end of a long season for them.

As relaxing as it gets
Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
The tour truly lives up to its name. It offers the perfect blend of cycling, sailing, and exploring some of Greece’s most stunning islands. Each day brings something new, charming whitewashed villages, crystal-clear waters, and peaceful coastal roads with breathtaking views. The combination of guided bike rides and relaxing moments aboard the ship makes it both active and rejuvenating. The crew and guides are friendly and knowledgeable, and the food and atmosphere on board are excellent. A wonderful way to experience the Greek islands from both land and sea!

Sea, Sand, (and Hills) of Crete!
Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete
We did the slow ride through Crete with an off day at the beach after every day of cycling. Beautiful scenery, and a decent enough amount of cycling each day to feel that we earned our dinners! Very well run and organized, with no issues with hotels or luggage transfers.

Trip exceeded my expectations!
Sparta and the Mediterranean Coast
We were on the self-guided trip. The GPS instructions are fantastic! We had e-bikes which were excellent and comfortable.
It seems like the Peloponnese Peninsula is an undiscovered gem. We went in the middle of September and it was not at all crowded and so beautiful. We often had the beaches to ourselves and the water was wonderful to swim in. We swam in the Sea everyday on this trip.
The roads are very good. If you are questioning at all whether to get an e-bike, you should. Our goal was to enjoy the trip and not worry about the next hill… and there will be the next hill. There are a lot of challenging climbs on this trip but very doable with an e-bike (and with a road bike if you want the challenge).
The scenery is incredible! You are surrounded by mountains, the Aegean Sea, and a lot of olive and orange groves.
You start in Sparta, which was our least favorite spot/hotel but it’s really just overnight and then you head to the coast! All of the other towns and hotels were so much better. We were very impressed with our hotels which all had balconies overlooking the sea.
The GPS gets you to the town but not necessarily to the exact hotel. When we got to Elea, we had to rely on Google Maps to actually find our hotel, so be aware of that. That was the only tricky one.
We bought the transport from and to Athens. The drivers were both terrific and they are actually guides for the company so during the ride they share so much information about the area. I asked to see the Corinth Canal (which you pass by) and our driver took us there and gave us a 15 minute car break to walk over it and take pictures!
The bikes have water bottle holders, a phone holder and a rack on the back which the pannier is attached to.
This trip exceeded my expectations!

Great Trip
Greece: The Peloponnese Peninsula
What a beautiful ride through Greece! I loved riding through all the olive grove and grape fields, seeing the sheep in the street and the goats. The weather was perfect everyday. The bikes were great! The towns were fun to explore. We especially like Vytina and Nafplio. Our hotels were great. We asked for an upgrade to have a Seaview in Nafplio and we were glad we did! Our upgrade was right by the water and close to everything! The staff of Arcas were very helpful.
It was rated a 2 but I would say it was more of a 3. There were a lot of long descents but there was a fair amount of uphill as well.
I used a trek touring bike and I bike regularly 2-3 times a week 15-25 miles, but the hills were
challenging for me.- What was the date of your tour?

What a great way to travel!
Greece: The Peloponnese Peninsula
Great trip with some really great people on our trip with us. So many beautiful locations along the way. Very hot during the day in Greek Summer, so keep that in mind. There were sections of roads that were not ideal for bikes (on busy roads for not more than a few kms at a time) with not much in the way of a shoulder to ride on for sections. Some pretty steep downhill sections as well, so need to be careful in parts! Overall though, a great experience. Looking to add similar trips into future travels!

A Well-Paced Scenic Descent (with some climbing)
Kefalonia Ainos Mountain Bike Tour
My friends and I joined this morning tour with minimal experience on mountain bikes. Our worries about reaching the top of the mountain shouldn't have worried us as our guide put us at ease and moved at our pace. The views were one of a kind as we cruised down the fire road along the side of Mount Ainos. We continued out of the park, eventually finding our way to a bit of pavement and then more fire roads. There was a small amount of climbing somewhere in there but nothing too strenuous. We ate local snacks and learned more about the island. Eventually, we passed through a number of small towns and ended the tour in Sami. All of us were very pleased with the experience and would sign up to do it again!

Gorgeous, off the beaten track trail!
Kefalonia Ainos Mountain Bike Tour
The Mt. Ainos Mountain Bike Tour provided spectacular views of the area from a gorgeous mountain view lined with trees. The terrain is rocky and can obviously change with the weather (rain, wind, etc.), so you need to be comfortable riding on that type of terrain. The last 11 km. or so is downhill on the road and lots of fun! Lambros is an outstanding guide, making sure that everyone in our group was comfortable. (We were a group of 4 with differing riding abilities.) He changed a flat tire without flinching. He was excited to show us the route of the Mt. Ainos marathon that he organizes. Lambros is a warm, fun, highly skilled guide who is proud to share the gems of Kefalonia with his guests. Highly recommend this ride if you have off-road riding experience and you're looking for an off-the-beaten path experience in Kefalonia...something you won't read about in the standard 'things to do in Kefalonia' travel guides.

Perfect in every way
Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
Everything about this trip was 100%. The rides were spectacular. Our guides and all the staff on the boat were really great. The ship was so comfortable. Chrisya made sure everything and everyone’s needs were met. And my fellow passengers were all lovely people. 13 people and 7 different nationalities made it really fun and interesting.

Unforgettable experience
Ionian Islands Multi-sport Family Cruise
Me, my husband and 2 daughters ages 10 and 6 enjoyed this experience! The tour guides Katerina and Isabelle were wonderful and so was the crew. The meals on board were also good. This tour is geared toward children, which is great as the bike rides are appropriately challenging for them. One thing that could have made our experience better is better sleep. Going to bed early is challenging in this environment because the rooms on the boat are right next to living quarters, yet sleep is essential especially for young kids. This could have been accomplished by adjusting the schedule to start the engine at 8 instead of 7 and possibly cruising more in the late evening instead of the first 3 hours of the day.
Overall we had a memorable experience and loved the bike rides, unique experience of sleeping on a boat, getting to know other families, and of course the swim stops for paddle boarding, snorkeling and kayaking.- What was the date of your tour?
