Explore Greek historical and cultural sites, maritime beauty, and the Mediterranean culture. This is a 7-night / 8-day bike and boat tour on a 3-masted super-yacht. We will visit the Peloponnese Peninsula and 6 nearby islands.
Daily bike rides vary in distance and altitude change, ranging from 13 to 39 miles in length, but multiple stops are planned along the way. The routes will take us along the coastlines, citrus orchards, and olive groves. We will travel to ancient ruins, museums, and UNESCO sites. And of course, also to various beaches and taverns. E-bikes with 5 assist levels and helmets are included in the price of the trip, but for a discount you may opt out and take a standard bike. Two bilingual guides on bikes will lead us on our tours.
“Running on Waves” will be our home for this trip. It is a 210-foot long 3-masted sailing vessel. It is one of the 500 largest such vessels in the world. There are 17 private ensuite cabins (10 for couples, 7 for singles) of 115 – 150 sq ft. The ship is staffed by 17-19 English-speaking crew members that will prepare our meals, cater to our needs, and guide our bike tours. The trip includes all breakfasts, 6 lunches, and 3 dinners. Meals are family style, with optional menu items. Beer and wine are included with dinner; a cash bar is available for other adult beverages.
We are looking into the possibility of offering a 3-day pre-extension in Athens. Details and pricing for this extension are TBD. Currently we depart the US on 10/7; arrive 10/8, cruise starts 10/9.
