Concept of the Service
Everything related to the logistics and the bikes are included. You should only enjoy your cycling days. No need to book ferry tickets, no need to worry to follow your pace while exploring the islands. We are going to have a small team and a vehicle discreetly supporting your ride. We are going to intervene only when you need (e.g. you found a nice taverna and you want to call it a day, without cycling any more? you just call us and we collect you). All tips and maps, will be discussed during the ferry time or over dinner. We have a lot to share.

Tour Ιtinerary
Athenian Riviera
07.30 -Pick up from your hotel – coffee together
Morning: A ride which every cyclist visiting Athens should do! An approx 50 km (~30 miles) long spectacular route of excellent quality asphalt, starting at the edge of the city, crossing the Athens Riviera, towards the imposing ancient temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion. As the distance from the city increases, the ride becomes smoother and the view of the Saronic Gulf to always be a faithful riding companion till it reaches its end at Cape Sounion. The ride is mostly flat with a few challenges along the way. It will only require a few short, but greatly rewarding efforts, to get the rider to the top of those short hills.
After your ride: Meal at Lavrio Town, fresh fish directly for grilling and the shuttle to the port
16.00 – Departure to Andros Island
18.00 – Arrival and ride to the hotel Mare Vista (very close to the port) – no need to get something more premium here; the view is gorgeous
Free time and explore the scenic town of Batchi. A lot of great options are found here for your dinner.

Around Andros
Morning: The vibrant colours, the crystal clear springs, the rich vegetation and the mountainous terrain is what distinguishes Andros, from the rest of the Cyclades islands. The picturesque villages loom over the landscape as you leave behind the mountainous masses, full of history and local customs, and beaches with incredibly clear blue waters ensue.The natural landscape and the respect people have shown to it, is what has designated the architecture of the island as exquisite and justifiably consists an inseparable part of the folk tradition which adheres to this day.
Exploring Andros is a fascinating experience that will instantly resonate its unique vibrations through nature, culture and outstanding beauty to the visitor.

Tinos Island
10.00 – Ferry to Tinos
11.00 – Arrival in Tinos and cycling the whole island
The ride starts shortly after the ferry has arrive, and it will not take you a lot of time until we reach one of the most beautiful villages of the island, Kardiani. Later on, on the villages of Insternia and Pyrgos, you witness the years of work local sculpture artists have put in order to embellish each and every spot of those villages. Truly spectacular. The route takes you by the mt Xoumvorgo, where the first human settlements on the island were found, and the bizarre, due to the giant curved shaped rocks found here, village of Volax.

Sorry folks… no cycling today 🙁
Morning: Ferry to Mykonos – I recommend taking it slow and explore the town of Tinos, maybe catch a later ferry
In order to enjoy cycling on the island, we have to begin cycling very early in the morning. To catch the first sun rays, before the traffic begins. Mykonos Island, during the rush hour cannot support a cycling and sadly the ferry arrives around 9.00.
Shuttle Service: Our staff is going to be on the island, and we will act as your shuttle service (1 hour notice)
Accommodation: Kivotos Mykonos or Blue Ocean Villas (not included in the price, let us know if you would like us to obtain a offer for you to consider them as options)
Cycling with a guide
In order to get the most of the island, we strongly suggest to allow one of our guides to join you. There are a lot of stories to be told that will make you appreciate the island even more. Also, due to the narrow streets, some of the navigation systems we have tried in the past usually fail, causing some frustration.
Morning: We begin the ride towards Armenistis Lighthouse, a landmark of a great importance and from there we cover all the alternative side of the island. Isolated churches, b routes, Mykonos Water Reservoirs, all are included. We normally make two stops to visit two truly majestic beaches, where we enjoy a one short swim (first) and a complete one at the end. Depending on the pace and the energy levels, we might be able to enjoy exploring more of the island (e.g. visit the only one (!) Wind Turbine power generator on the island). Our approach on the standard version of this bike trip, is to always follow an active and leisure approach, focusing more on Greece’s unique elements (sea and culture) than cycling and endurance.
Accommodation: Kivotos Mykonos or Blue Ocean Villas (not included in the price, let us know if you would like us to obtain a offer for you to consider them as options)
Goodbye: Our staff leave the island at this point
