Overview

A seven day, self-guided adventure on an epic circuit cycling the Peloponnese area of Messinia. Clinging to the coast, this is as gorgeously Greek as it gets, starting and ending in the coastal town of Kalamata, and taking you on a journey through some of the mainland’s most chilled villages and coastal hideaways. With your luggage transferred to you, you also get to stay in a different Greek village or small town every night, such as in Marathopoli or Methoni. Wake up to another stunning location, and cycle on to find more ancient and awesome sights. Accommodation on this tour includes a mix of mostly small, locally-owned hotels, B&Bs and traditional guesthouses and there will be no shortage of waterfront tavernas for lunches and dinners.
