Poros
Your trip will take in four of the cyclades islands – Kythnos, Seriphos, Syros and Kea followed by the islands of Poros and Aegina in the Saronic Gulf. The cubic whitewashed houses are common to these islands but each also has its own unique character, plus great cycling, beautiful sandy beaches and plenty of welcoming tavernas. There will also be plenty of opportunities to swim from the boat in the warm clear waters of the Aegean Sea.
Each night the boat will moor in a different port providing guests with a new environment to explore with an after-dinner stroll.
As the islands typically rise to hillier central areas you’ll inevitably be tackling some climbs on this trip, but the guided rides are quite short and there will be plenty of time to catch your breath and enjoy the spectacular scenery. Coastal roads are flatter and you’ll always have the option to simply head to the beach if you fancy a day off from cycling.
Please note that e-bikes are the only rental bike option on this route.

Your home for your Greek odyssey is the charming two-masted Panagiota, with her sun deck, shaded rear deck, spacious saloon and en suite, air conditioned cabins. Her friendly crew include cycle guides and a cook who’ll create tasty Greek specialities for you to enjoy on board after a day in the saddle.
Panagiota - your home for the week
Each day consists of either a cruise, followed by a cycle ride or the other way round. You can opt to cycle with the bike guides and be shown around or download a free app to your phone and use this to navigate teh routes yourself.
The highlights of this wonderful adventure are many and varied but stand-outs include the challenging but scenic ride from Nidri to Sivota followed by a refreshing swim from the boat at a secluded beach. Spending the night moored in the charming, colourful little port of Fiskardo on Kefalonia and cycling through mythical and unspoilt Ithaca. Convivial evenings enjoying al-freso dining on board the Panagiota with a cold glass of something nice will also live long in the memory
You’ll cycle a total of 105 miles during the trip over varied terrain. Each island is different, but they all include some hills so a fair level of fitness is recommended to get the most out of this holiday. That said, e-bikes are an available option (reserve at time of booking) and will take the sting out of the climbs.
