The journey takes you to Skiathos, Skopelos and Alonissos, as well as Palaio Trikeri, while following the landscapes and locations that made the region famous as a filming setting for Mamma Mia!
Premium Comfort Meets Majestic Island Cycling
Designed for discerning travelers seeking an elevated holiday experience, this trip delivers top-tier maritime hospitality alongside exhilarating electric cycling adventures. Unwind on the sundeck of your motor yacht, savor authentic Greek cuisine prepared daily, and tackle diverse terrain with ease. With routes rated at challenging level, intermediate and experienced riders can comfortably master rolling coastlines and mountain vistas using high-end electric assistance.
ROUTE
Pine forests, quiet coastal roads, traditional villages, beaches and Aegean views create a route with a varied backdrop. On Alonissos, the route follows quiet roads towards Chrysi Milia, Steni Vala and Kalamakia before climbing to the island’s higher plateau. On Skopelos, panoramic roads lead through mountainous landscapes and pine forests towards Neo Klima and Cape Gourouni. Further south, the route continues along the coast of Euboea and through traditional mountain villages before reaching the Pelion Peninsula, with its coastal roads, fishing ports and forested sections.
The routes combine paved roads, winding mountain descents, coastal stretches and occasional gravel paths. The terrain is hilly to mountainous, with some steeper climbs where e-bike motor assistance provides additional support. Confident bike-handling skills are recommended for winding descents and uneven road surfaces.
