Another bike tour on my bucket list ticked off
Sparta and the Mediterranean Coast
This ride is a terrific way to see the Peloponnese. I found the section from Sparta to Gytheio the most interesting, with trails through olive and citrus groves. The Byzantine site of Mystras is well worth spending time. With a warning that to visit takes a while and the road to it is very steep particularly if you’re visiting the Frankish castle above the monastery buildings. Being in my 70’s I was grateful that I ordered an e-bike, but 22 kms from Gytheio I ran out of battery and had to pedal the distance and doing this with 26 kilo bike wasn’t easy. Organisers may consider an e-bike with a larger battery power. The battery lasted just long enough to complete the beach tour from Gytheio the following day. There were a variety of trails and not too much peddling on main roads. The hotels were very good and friendly service.

The REAL Greece Experience
Sparta and the Mediterranean Coast
This was one of the most (if not THE most) enjoyable tour we have done in Europe with Biketours.com
The itinerary was excellent - each day was quite different. Some of the little portside villages we called into were exquisite as were the local people & food we enjoyed along the way. The bikes were superb as was the navigation system which never let us down. The briefing we received at Sparta (Fotus) & support along the way was first class. All in all a brilliant ride where we really soaked up the glorious sights, sounds & smells of the beautiful Pelopenese.- What was the date of your tour?

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!

Founder's Tour: Turkey and Greece E-Bike & Boat tour
This is our 4th bike and boat tour-if you ve never traveled this way you need to give it a try . What could be better than starting your day in a small harbor, with a wonderful breakfast on deck, then going for an exciting ride , coming back for a swim in the Adriatic, and then cruising to the next port in time for dinner? The food n the boat was plentiful and delicious. Because it’s a smaller boat we were able to spend time in smaller uncrowded harbors. He biking was challenging but the excellent e-bikes made it fun for all ages . Everyone on the boat agreed that two weeks was ideal-a one week trip just doesn’t give you enough time to settle in. There was never a dull day and if you don’t want to ride you can stay on the boat or walk the town-lots of options and flexibility. This would also be a good trip for a non rider in the family. I also highly recommend the Croatia bike and boat trip-it was fabulous. October is the best time to be in any of these places. The weather was warm enough to swim all the time and things weren’t as crowded as during the summer

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?

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.

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!

All-inclusive tour of Athens
Athens Acropolis E-Bike Tour
The perfect way to combine and experience the highlights of Athens city centre and Acropolis all at once. Our guide, Demos, knew a lot about the city, and shared a lot of interesting facts with us. A plus was also that our group was not too big, so we were able to move around easily.

A fun and educational bike plus walking tour
Athens Acropolis E-Bike Tour
We were in a 4-day visit of Athens, and had a blast of stay in general, while this was definitely a highlight of our trip. The tour includes around 3 hours of bike tour to all major city sights, after which the bikes are left at the starting point, and from there on, a guided Acropolis walking tour takes on, which entrance is just like 10-min on foot from there. Very inclusive tour, and highly recommendable.

Overview of Athens by Bike
Athens Private Bike Tour
A great way to get oriented in the city of Athens. The guide was very knowledgeable. The tour route was carefully selected to keep us off the busy streets which was much appreciated! We got the highlights and definitely saw things I would not have stumbled upon on my own (example: changing of the guards in front of the presidential residence). Just the right amount of history and some great photo ops (views of the Acropolis, etc) that felt like local secrets that other tourists would not have found.

A Great Day in Rhodes
Rhodes E-Bike & Snorkeling Tour
My group found the e-bike tour to be very fun. Our guides took our safety seriously while ensuring that we were having fun and stopping at different places along the way to let us have a moment to take in the sights. The guides were very friendly and took care to see that we had enough to drink and eat along the way.

Great way to see Rhodes!
Rhodes Sunshine or Sunset E-Bike Tour
We enjoyed our e-bike through Rhodes. Cristos was a great guide and kept us safe. The bikes were comfortable and easy to manage. I would recommend this tour if you want to get a fun overview of the city. We were able to see so much more than walking.

First trip to Greece
Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
We greatly enjoyed this tour. It was our first time using e-bikes and that made the rides very enjoyable. The crew was very professional and prepared delicious meals also. Our guides, Mary Lou and Isabel did a wonderful job sharing history and guiding us through the five Islands we visited. They were a joy to spend time with and very professional as well. We enjoyed getting to know the other couples on board as we shared our meals and rides together. Although some high winds prevented us from going to all of the islands listed in the tour, I can highly recommend it just the same.

60th birthday celebration
Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands
I felt like a kid again, riding through amazing landscapes, swimming in the sea, sleeping under the stars, and laughing tell it hurt while playing games on deck. Our guide was charming, engaging, accommodating, and hilarious and the crew was attentive, friendly, and fun, constantly scanning the conditions to ensure our route was safe and enjoyable. The food was delicious; abundant, varied, and authentic. And I met fabulous people with whom I continue to share my travels. This was a life changing trip.

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.

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!
