Overview

Experience the ultimate Greek bike and sail adventure with our meticulously curated itinerary, allowing you to combine the joy of cycling through the gorgeous Greek countryside of the Ionian islands with the pleasure of sailing the serene Mediterranean Sea on a traditional gulet. This is a bike and sail trip, which means almost each night on tour is spent aboard a spacious, handcrafted gulet—a traditional wooden sailing vessel with both sails and motors. Discover the Peloponnese's serene roads before sailing to picturesque Zante. Cycle through Zante's olive groves and vineyards, and explore Kefalonia's rugged terrain and Mount Ainos. Visit resilient villages and Fiskardo's historic charm, then bike around Lefkada's stunning beaches and sail to Meganisi. Explore mythic Ithaca's cultural sites and scenic landscapes, concluding with a visit to Shipwreck Beach. The Gulet offers cozy cabins, inviting deck spaces, and stunning views of Greece’s coastlines.
