Athens Airport (ATH) is approximately 25 km from the port of Piraeus. If possible, please choose a return flight that does not depart until midday or in the afternoon to ensure a stress-free return journey. Embarkation on the day of arrival is from 2:00 p.m., please bear this in mind when booking your flight.
In order to ensure an unproblematic arrival and departure, we recommend that you use the offered transfer from and to the airport.

Arrival by car
You are welcome to come with your car. The port of embarkation is Marina Zeas, which is part of the Athens port of Piraeus. As a rule, your ship is moored here in the part of the marina called Pasa Limani. There is also parking here. Embarkation on board is from 2 p.m.
Requirements (level 2-3)
The cycling stages require participants to have a certain level of fitness, which should have been acquired through regular cycling. The daily stages of 20 to 60 km lead partly through hilly and mountainous terrain. Longer inclines are also driven, but pushing is definitely allowed. The roads are mostly paved. Decide for yourself every day whether you want to cycle individually (solely based on information and maps) or whether you want to join one of your tour guides. Half a day or a full day can be spent on the ship at any time. Please note: Helmets are compulsory on the bike tours. Please bring your own well fitting helmet. A limited number of rental helmets are available (reservation required).
Available rental bikes
We can provide E-Bikes. These bikes are not suitable for persons from a height smaler than 150 cm and not over 190 cm.
Due to safety restrictions it is not possible to bring own e-bikes. Please book an e-bike in advance.
Catering
The chef is a member of the crew and prepares daily breakfast and one or two warm meals. Boarding begins on arrival with dinner and ends with the breakfast. During a long bike ride you will get lunch ashore.
Children
Basically, we believe that only children with a good level of fitness and a minimum of 10 years can manage the bike tour by own means. Please note that we have only bike available for a body height starting from 1.40 m.
Changes
The Cyclades are a relatively wind-prone area. In general, this causes only minor changes in planned course of the tour. At very unfavorable wind conditions, it may be, however, that the route of the planned tour course will differ significantly. Our alternative tour takes you to the Argosaronikos Gulf, one of the most historic regions of Greece: Your cross between the Greek mainland and the Peloponnese and explore the islands of Aegina, Poros, Hydra, Spetses and the Methana peninsula. A highlight of the trip is to visit the ancient Epidaurus with the best-preserved theater in Greece.
