Cycling Athens & The Peloponnese - Greece Biking Holiday

Beautiful coastal rides
Historic sights of ancient Greece
Discover Athens by bike

The Peloponnese is arguably the most interesting part of Greece when it comes to history, archaeology and mythology. Our week of cycling will take us through fascinating classical history and a fantastic variety of landscapes, from the azure blue of the sea along the coastline to the green olive trees and the vineyards of the heart of Greece. Starting and finishing in the buzzing city of Athens, the ride offers plenty of opportunities to discover some of Greece's treasures, such as Poros Island or the beautiful town of Nafplio. Each day gives us the chance to sample some fantastic local food in various restaurants and tavernas and immerse ourselves in the greek culture and lifestyle. The scenic cycling sections will be punctuated by visits to sights such as the Acropolis in Athens, the amphitheatre at Epidaurus or the ancient site of Mycenae.
