This is one of Europe's cycling destination, which has been sofar, kept secret. Greece has over 11 million people, most of them residing in the major cities like Athens and Thessaloniki.

Cycle "Green" Tours and Eco-Tourism

 We have been passionately active and environmentally involved for years in ensuring that our foot prints are kept small on all our tours in all the countries we have travelled and lived. Greece has become part of the European "green" movement. Recently, where ever we have cycled, we encountered solar-systems, windmills, modern garbage removal and recycling. We also find the people and cyclists in their quest to keep Greece and the Peloponnese clean and beautiful for all the others who will come after us. 

Modern Infrastructure of Greece

 Greece has built a new international airport, a competent Metro system in Athens, pedestrian malls at the Acropolis, a coastal tram to Patras, a new toll highway from Athens to Kalamata. In 2004, Greece hosted the Olympic games and has still the most efficient ferry system. Many times a year, Athens hosts bicycle tour days, where the inner city is closed to all traffic. As well many of it's cities are building modern bike paths.

Greece is a low crime country. Many times we have seen high end bicycles left unlocked in Kalamata. Outside the cities, crime is almost non-exisitant.  Our top priority is your safety and upmost comfort during your holidays.
