For history, archaeology and mythology, the Peloponnese is arguably the most interesting part of Greece. Your week of cycling is a journey through fascinating classical history and a superb variety of landscapes, from the azure blue sea to the green olive trees and vineyards of the heart of Greece. Starting and finishing in Athens, the ride offers plenty of opportunities to discover some of the country’s treasures, such as Poros Island and the beautiful town of Nafplio. Each day gives you the chance to sample excellent local food in various restaurants and tavernas and immerse yourself in the Greek culture and lifestyle.
Exodus TravelsJoin a group guided tour to cycle along idyllic coastlines, visit the historical sights of ancient Greece and discover Athens and its archaeological treasures. This tour is classified as Road and Activity Level 3 (Moderate) as it has five days of cycling with an average distance of 29mi (47km) per day, partial vehicle support (limited seats) and all the rides are door-to-door. Road conditions are usually good but will be pot-holed in places. Quiet roads are used where possible, but sometimes you'll need to pass busy sections to reach the quiet roads on the other side. On Day 2, you will be cycling through Athens, where traffic can be intense; the leader will keep the group together and warn of any areas they know to be busy.
