| Our cycling activities are well suited to a wide range of individuals but please note that these are not designed for expert cyclists who are looking for a serious challenge. By taking part in our cycle activities and routes you will experience the thrill of the open coastal roads but also adventure exploring off the beaten track cycle routes Within the Saronic Gulf, Trizinia, and adjacent islands there are numerous routes to explore using bicycles. These range from half day trips to full 8 hour day cycles. We have put together a range of exciting trips for our cycling based activities. Cycling in July and August is not recommended due to high temperatures, although early morning - late evening trips are possible. |
