Question 3

Why aren't accommodations specified?

Accepted Answer

We are dedicated to finding the ideal match for your cycling journey. We work closely with a range of accommodation providers, all of whom adhere to our quality criteria, though their availability might change, particularly during high-demand seasons. Moreover, we offer the flexibility to customize your trip according to your personal tastes and budget, guaranteeing that we find the accommodation that best suits your needs.

Question 4

How far in advance should I book?

Accepted Answer

We recommend booking your tour as soon as possible, particularly for sought-after tourist destinations where accommodation options are limited. Top choices tend to be reserved quickly, often getting fully booked for the summer season well before the arrival of spring.

Question 5

What if I have dietary restrictions?

Accepted Answer

Addressing specific dietary needs can depend on their complexity. In Greece, vegetarian dishes are commonly available, but sourcing vegan meals may be more challenging in rural regions or smaller towns. It’s important to note that lunch stops typically occur at traditional restaurants, where the ability to accommodate special dietary requirements beyond their regular menu might be limited. Please consider this when planning your cycling tour.

Question 6

What's the best season for cycling in Greece?

Accepted Answer

The optimal cycling season in Greece extends from mid-April to mid-October. In higher elevation areas, such as the mountainous regions, it’s best to plan your cycling trips from mid-May to September.

Question 7

What if the weather forecast is unfavourable?

Accepted Answer

Tours in Greece are feasible in light rain, provided you have suitable attire. Summer often brings afternoon thunderstorms, so starting your tours early in the day is advisable. Should challenging weather conditions be anticipated, we will endeavour to adapt the tour schedule accordingly.

Question 8

How does luggage transfer work?

Accepted Answer

On cycling trips, luggage transfer allows you to ride without carrying heavy bags. Each morning, you leave your luggage at the designated spot—often the hotel reception—and it’s transported to your next overnight stop. Your bags are usually waiting for you when you arrive. Weight limits and pickup times can vary slightly depending on the service provider.

Question 9

Do you transfer bikes too? How does it work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, bike transfers are often available when needed—such as before, after, or during your trip. Bikes are typically transported in secure vehicles or trailers designed for bicycles. You may need to notify the provider in advance, and some services require the bike to be clean or partially disassembled. Exact procedures vary depending on location and logistics.
