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!

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?

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!

20th Anniversary Trip
Cultural Splendors of the Peloponnese and Saronic Isles E-bike and Boat
Our expectations were exceeded. We knew we would love to see the countryside this way, and indeed it was fabulous to see the more remote areas that most tourists never experience. And the staff blew us away. I felt so cared for. Every need was accommodated. The staff had such a positive attitude which is noteworthy for how hard they work. It made it a really special experience that we will cherish.
