Cycle the Islands of Greece

Cycle the Islands of Greece

Summary

Discover the enchanting islands of Greece on this 9-day island-hopping cycling adventure. Designed for all levels of fitness, this light/moderate challenge covers approximately 232 km of stunning terrain across five cycling days. 

Your journey begins in Athens, where you'll meet your challenge leader and fellow adventurers. After a night in the Attica Coast Hotel, set sail from the marina aboard a splendid privately chartered yacht, your home for the next week. Explore Poros Island's scenic edges and quaint town of Ermioni, free from mass tourism. Circle Spetses, an island known for its beauty and history, before sailing to Paralio Astros. 

Cycle through ancient olive groves and rolling hills to Leonidio, a town blending tradition and modernity. Experience Greece's most exquisite cycling route from Leonidio to Kyparissi, hugging the ocean's edge on pristine tarmac with minimal traffic. Enjoy a leisure day on Hydra, a vehicle-free haven with hiking trails and a vibrant port, followed by a short sail to the charming island of Poros. 

Conclude your cycling adventure on Aegina, famous for its pistachios and lush pine forests, before celebrating with a dinner on the yacht. End your journey in Athens, with memories of an unforgettable Greek island adventure. 

This challenge has been graded as 2 out of 5 for difficulty. Midday temperatures will be warm and there are some nice climbs on some cycling days, however you will be treated to very well-maintained roads throughout, less daily distance compared to some 5 day cycles, and there is a leisure day between cycling days. October will be cooler than May.
