Route

Tour profile / Level 2-3

Aside from two challenging cycle tours on Kalymnos and Kos, this trip belongs to the less difficult island trips. The day tours average 25 km and take you through mainly hilly terrain. There are also some extended climbs where walking your bike is of course permitted. Most of the roads are asphalted. Your tour guide informs you each day about the tour details.

Day 2: Kos Island/Kos Town, approx. 30 km

In the Morning we cross over to Kos. We cycle to the picturesque Tigaki Beach, where we can enjoy a lengthy swim in the sea. On our way we pass the world famous archaeological site of the Asclipion of Kos - the place where Hippocrates, the famous physician, practiced modern medicine. We continue our tour until we finally reach the town of Kos. An entourage of cultural sights in Kos town will give us an insight into the town’s turbulent historical past: The Roman Forum, the Fortress of the Knights and the mosques from the time when Kos was still part of the Ottomans Empire. The evening is rounded off in one of the numerous bars and cafes.

Day 3: Leros Island, approx. 28 km

Early morning crossing to the scenic Island of Leros. Today’s cycling tour leads us to the fort of the Knights of St. John of Jerusalem in Agia Marina and into the small alleyways of the town. Passing the picturesque town harbor, we cycle on to the seaside chapel of Agios Isidoros, a popular chapel on the island to get married in. Following the coastline we reach a beautiful sandy beach where we may stop for a swim and coffee. On arrival at the boat we cast off for Patmos or a nearby bay.

Day 4: Patmos Island – Lipsi Island, approx. 12 - 16 km

On a short panoramic cycle tour we visit Patmos and its grotto. It is said that St. John received the revelation during his captivity here. The world famous monastery of St. John of Chora is found in a village with numerous white alleys, 34 churches and chapels radiating heavenly peace. After a visit we cycle along the coast until we reach the port. We meet the boat for lunch and cruise on to Lipsi. Enjoy the afternoon in the charming harbour town and do not miss a visit to the legendary pastry shop!

Day 5: Lipsi Island – Kalymnos Island, approx. 9 - 16 km

In the morning you will take a small bike tour on Lipsi, which will take you almost around the entire island, which is mostly agricultural, with its many small churches and chapels and charming beaches. In the afternoon you will cross over to the island of Kalymnos to the main port of Pothia, where you will spend the night today. The old town of Pothia still clearly shows the former wealth of its inhabitants acquired through sponge diving.

Day 6: Kalymnos Island, approx. 42 km

Today, a round trip by bike on Kalymnos is on the program, on which you will get to know the whole island, which has made a name for itself far beyond Greece’s borders as a climber’s paradise. You will pass a surprisingly green valley for this barren island and enjoy wonderful views of the bay-rich coast. Back in Pothia, the ship awaits you for lunch and the crossing to Kos Town for overnight.
