Overview

This 11-day cycling holiday Island Hopping Dodecanese takes you to three beautiful cycling islands in the southeast of Greece: Rhodes, Kos and Leros, with a stop-over in Kalymnos. You will become familiar with the Greek islands of the Colossus and the Asclepeion, the crusaders and the sponge fishermen. The islands are each little paradises of their own, with both Italian and Turkish influences. You will enjoy a balance of cycling, cultural heritage excursions and boat trips on azure blue waters. The unknown Leros is the real surprise of this cycling holiday: a green jewel. You will cycle along stretches of coastline, only encountering a real incline very occasionally.
