JOIN US BEFORE THE REST OF THE CYCLING WORLD DISCOVERS GREECE.
Choose the trip that’s perfect for you,
GREECE is fast becoming the next major cycling destination - with its amazing coastside quiet roads, winding climbs, Greek hospitality and ancient history, it’s no surprise!
After Mallorca, cycling here is a real, authentic adventure!
But cycling in Europe’s most mountainous country is not for the faint-hearted. We welcome regular cyclists who will leave us feeling fitter, refreshed and inspired by cycling in Europe’s authentic, outdoor paradise.
“Bonjour Chris,
I want to thank you for the wonderful holidays you create for us, well done. It was beyond expectations. We had a lot of fun, and the scenery was exceptional. A real pleasure to ride with you.”

(14 riders - Lap of the Gods)
Join us in The Peloponnese, just 1.30 hours’ transfer from Athens, over the Corinth Canal to an outdoor paradise, the size of Wales, in the heart of ancient Greece. Accounting for only 2% of Greek tourism, it is like the Greek island of our youth - quiet, beautiful, authentic and well-priced.
We have various cycling trips, suitable for every rider. Choose the one for you and make an enquiry.
We will always remain a boutique business, which works best for our guests and our village, so enquire early; we tend to get booked up well in advance. We attract about 50% each of male and female cycle groups and also many mixed groups of all abilities - cycle clubs or informal friendship groups. Please see our guest photos for inspiration.
Our most popular weeks -based in Epidavros. Beautiful but challenging routes, averaging 80km with 1,000m of climbing, take us to Nafplio, the first capital of Greece, Poros Island, Methana Volcano, over the oldest standing bridge in the world and Epidavros Amphitheatre and finish each day in a beachside taverna.
Our challenging place-to-place tour of the very best of Greece. Best towns and villages, ancient sites, tavernas and beaches – with your luggage transferred for you – while you cycle around the Greek Peloponnese.
Our newest and hardest tour – to tie in with the movie release in 2026. Our route will take you from Athens, over the highest mountains and three islands, to finish, as Odysseus did, on the famous island of Ithaca!
Mark Cavendish trained here before he came back to be the ultimate stage winner of the Tour de France. Wout van Eert is in the top ten of our local 1,000m climb. Join us to push yourself and leave fitter, refreshed and invigorated.
We create the very best routes to fit your fitness, ambition and timescale. We book the best hotels for your budget and arrange for your luggage to be transferred. Everything is done for you so you can simply arrive and enjoy the very best cycling in Greece.
CYCLE THE BEST OF GREECE
The Peloponnese is the Mallorca of Greece - a peninsula from the mainland, with amazing beaches, behind which lay simply the best coastal roads, and hillside climbs - with the bonus of cycling to famous Greek islands, huge amphitheatres, over the oldest standing bridge in the world, to the first capital of Greece and the best bakeries, coffee shops, beaches and tavernas that Greece has to offer.
Bike rental
We have partnered up with Greece’s best bike shop chain to offer anything from top-end road bikes to e-bikes.

CHRIS AND HELEN ARE YOUR HOSTS
Being from a Greek family, and with a lifetime of living it, Helen is in charge of all your hospitality!
Chris is in charge of cycling. Based from London, he has been part of the growth in cycling over the last twenty years. “I have been fortunate to have cycled around the world, via the Great Wall of China, Mount Everest, North Korea and Australia, and to have bike-packed across India, Bangladesh, Taiwan and Central and South America. I’ve also written for Road.cc, represented GB in the amateur world championships and became the oldest Briton to cycle up Mount Ventoux six times in a day - but it was when I cycled along the Peloponnese coast from Poros island to here in Epidavros, I knew I’d found an outdoor paradise, that I wanted to share with others.”
FINISH YOUR CYCLING TRIP FEELING FITTER, REFRESHED AND INSPIRED
When you leave the outdoor paradise of the Peloponnese, you will feel physically refreshed and mentally inspired by a break, where just life itself feels rich.
Penny Brown - Review
Chris and Helen have cultivated the perfect retreat in one of the most beautiful, historic, and unspoilt parts of the world. Watching the sunrise over the sea from my balcony each morning, followed by a relaxed breakfast in a true home-away-from-home, set the tone for each day. The cycling was challenging but stunning, and the smooth road surface, friendly drivers, local coffee shops and authentic tavernas, not to mention the stop-offs at sites steeped in history and the promise of a dip in the sea and a kilo of wine at the end of the day, made every ride exceptionally rewarding.
Chris and Helen have immersed themselves so well into the community that I rarely felt like a tourist. We were greeted by locals at every turn, and I was even handed a freshly picked orange by a motorcyclist to encourage me while climbing one of the steeper inclines on a hot afternoon. Evenings were spent in local tavernas, enjoying live music and hearing tales of Epidavros that matched the historic legends of the area.
This is a retreat to rival the nearby ancient Sanctuary of Asklepios - the world’s first health sanctuary - stunning scenery, nourishing food, great entertainment and company, crystal waters, and unbelievably challenging yet rewarding cycling.
The reality is even better than described! I will certainly be making more pilgrimages here in the years to come! ”
