We are specialists in biking tours in Peloponnese and we offer a variety of cycling trips all around Greece too. Having created our first cycling routes back in 2013, we are pioneers in developing biking tourism in Peloponnese and in Greece in general. Today, we own a bike fleet of over 150 bikes of different types such as e-bikes, road bikes, trekking bikes(hybrids) and tandems, a fleet of vans and bicycle trailers, and above all an amazing team of local cycling tour leaders ready to share their love for their homeplace. 

Terrain 

Peloponnese and Greece have the reputation of being hilly, thus unfriendly for cyclists. That is true only partially and it has been spread by cyclists who cycled on their own without having the knowledge of the area and following some main roads. There are numerous options for relatively flat routes, easy for everyone avoiding the traffic and connecting the points of interest. Even better, today with the development of the e-bikes even weaker riders can enjoy the breathtaking landscapes of Peloponnese by bike. The asphalt is of good quality in most places. For mountain bike lovers, Peloponnese is full of dirt roads and there are plenty of mountain bike possibilities in the mountains of Mainalo, Taygetos, Parnonas, Ziria or Chelmos. 

Weather

The weather in Peloponnese is ideal for cycling, of course avoiding the deep summer. Spring and Autumn is the perfect time for a bike tour in Peloponnese as the temperatures are exactly on spot. End of March until beginning of June and then September until mid November is the time you want to find yourself cycling here to avoid the heat of the summer and the possibility of heavy rain or even snow during the winter. The coastal destinations of Peloponnese are fine to cycle even during winter, although you might not find many restaurants and cafes open. On the other hand, in July and August the temperature can reach 40 degrees C which makes it hard to ride even for the locals. On top of that, during summer there is much more traffic everywhere because of the tourists, locals and foreigners, who are looking to enjoy the beautiful beaches of Peloponnese making your bike tour even harder.
