Overview

This 8-day Bike & Boat Tour in Greece combines cycling through olive groves, coastal roads, and villages with sailing between the Ionian Sea and the Gulf of Corinth aboard a traditional two-masted motor sailer. The tour highlights include riding on islands like Paxos, Ithaca, Meganisi, and Lefkas, visiting historical sites such as the Sanctuary of Apollo at Delphi, and experiencing the dramatic passage through the Corinth Canal. The accommodation is on the M/S Panagiota, a renovated Greek caique with 10 air-conditioned cabins, each with a private shower and toilet. The difficulty is rated as moderate, requiring great fitness for cycling days of up to 35 km with up to 500 m of elevation gain on hilly to occasionally mountainous terrain. E-bike rentals are available to assist with climbs. The tour offers two itinerary options: Athens to Corfu and Corfu to Athens, both covering approximately 128-150 km of cycling over 8 days and 7 nights. Both itineraries include a mix of cycling and excursions, with 2 full-board and 5 half-board days on board the M/S Panagiota. The tour includes an experienced English-speaking local bike guide, accommodation, guided cycling tours, sightseeing, entrance fees to museums and archaeological sites, a transfer to Delphi, and passage through the Corinth Canal.
