Bike tours through hilly terrain with longer climbs up to approx. 220 meters in elevation. All tours, including the elevation gain, can be easily managed with electronic assistance. Suitable for cyclists who ride regularly and are comfortable with changing trail conditions.

You will arrive in Bodrum individually. Shared transfers from Bodrum Airport to the port in Yali Ciftlik are available on request for a fee. Cabins are available from 4 p.m. (Alternatively, you can fly to the island of Kos and take the ferry to Bodrum from there. If you wish to take advantage of this option, you must book a flight that lands in Kos by 2 p.m. at the latest). Your trip begins with a group dinner on board. It is often the case that the last participants do not arrive on the ship until late in the evening.

In the morning, cross over to Kos. In the afternoon, your first bike tour begins to the sanctuary of the god of healing, Asclepius, which gained fame through the physician Hippocrates, who was born on Kos. After a tour, return to the ship. Spend the evening in the lively island capital of Kos. On a tour of the city, you will encounter traces of the island’s great past at every turn. The Roman forum, the fortress of the Knights of St. John, and the mosques from the time when Kos belonged to the Ottoman Empire stand close together. Dinner on land. You can then end the day in one of the city’s numerous bars or cafés.

Early morning crossing to Leros, which is green and varied. Your bike tour takes you to the Johanniter Castle in Agia Marina and into the winding streets of the village. Passing the idyllic harbor, you cycle on to the sea-washed chapel of Agios Isidoros, where many couples have tied the knot. Weather permitting, the ship will take you to Patmos in the afternoon, which is visible from afar with its snow-white upper town and the Monastery of St. John towering above it. Dinner on board and overnight stay on Patmos or in a bay near Leros.

On a short, panoramic bike ride on Patmos, you will first visit the cave where John is said to have received the Apocalypse from God during his imprisonment. The world-famous Monastery of St. John in Chora, a village that exudes heavenly peace with its numerous white alleys and 34 churches and chapels, is the next destination on your bike tour. From there, the ride continues along the coast (including a possible stop for a swim) back to the harbor, where the ship awaits you for a late lunch and onward journey to Lipsi. Explore this charming village and don’t miss a visit to the legendary pastry shop at the harbor!

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

Today, a round trip by bike on Kalymnos is on the agenda, during which you will get to know the whole island, which has made a name for itself far beyond Greece’s borders as a climbing paradise. You will also pass through a valley that is surprisingly green for this barren island and enjoy wonderful views of the bay-rich coastline. Back in Pothia, the ship will be waiting to take you to Kos Town for the night.–

After breakfast on board, you will take a leisurely trip to the Embros Thermal Springs, where you can once again bathe in the soothing warm water. After lunch on shore, you will enjoy the last crossing of the week back to the port of departure on board your ship. You can round off an eventful week perfectly on the beautiful beach next to the landing stage. Say goodbye to your tour guide and crew during a convivial farewell evening.

After breakfast disembarkation. Collective transfers to Bodrum Airport. If you wish to fly home from the Island of Kos your ferry will depart at 09:30 am. Please insure that your flight departure from Kos is no earlier than 1 pm.
