Kalimera, Athens! Your Greek adventure begins in the vibrant capital. After checking in and refreshing from your journey, the city’s treasures await — depending on your arrival time, explore the historic centre, stroll the coastal promenade, or marvel at the iconic Acropolis. As the day winds down we gather for a brief orientation, followed by a traditional Greek welcome dinner where we get to know each other over local delicacies.

We set off for the Peloponnese peninsula. On the way we admire the famous Corinth Canal, connecting the Gulf of Corinth and the Aegean Sea. Next we stop at Epidaurus, birthplace of Apollo’s son, to visit the UNESCO-listed Epidaurus Theatre and the sanctuary of Asclepius, before reaching Nafplion.

Today we cross the picturesque villages of Astros, Leonidio and Skala. Monemvasia was separated from the mainland by an earthquake in 375 BC and founded by the Byzantines in the 6th century — most of the ruins of its 800 houses still stand. The oldest church, St. Paul’s, was built in 956.

A full day of riding along the coast. We make several stops to explore the stone villages of the wild Mani region, taking pictures and soaking in the scenery. We reach Pylos in the afternoon, in time to wander its charming harbour, cafés and shops. Come dinner, the fresh seafood at the local tavernas is not to be missed.

We ride north through the Peloponnese, crossing a wild area of orange groves, olive and lemon trees, sheep and goats with their shepherds — the real Greece, as it was hundreds of years ago. We finish in the beautiful and famous city of Olympia.

Tour the archaeological site that hosted the first Olympic Games, soaking up the grandeur of this unforgettable place and learning how the games became an integral part of ancient Greek society. Visit a local taverna for dinner, savouring delicious Greek flavours, before an overnight stay in Olympia.

Leaving Olympia behind, another beautiful day awaits. We ride along the coast toward Preveza, crossing the Patras bridge — an emblem of the region and widely considered an engineering masterpiece.

We ride small roads and let the fascinating, mountain-dominated landscape work its magic. In the afternoon we reach the cultural highlight of the day: the famous Meteora monasteries near Kalambaka, timed to catch the sunset over this extraordinary place. Built on sandstone cliffs up to 400 meters high, some sheer vertical, they are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The name Metéora comes from the ancient Greek for “suspended in the air.”

We continue through the mountains, enjoying winding roads and scenery all the way to Delphi. Built in the 6th century BC, Delphi ranks among the top places to visit in the world — here you’ll find the Temple of Apollo and the sanctuary of Athena.

We journey from the ancient oracle back to Greece’s vibrant capital, winding through mythical Mount Helicon — home of the Muses. The route unfolds along sparkling coastlines where azure bays meet golden beaches: a perfect blend of mountain majesty and Mediterranean charm to close the ride. A farewell dinner awaits in Athens.

Today marks the end of our journey together, but the memories will ride with you forever. As you head to the airport, know that another adventure awaits — we’ll keep your seat warm for the next one!
