Coast To Coast Full Day Mountain Bike Tour With Beach StopExplore > Greece > Corfu > Coast To Coast Full Day Mountain Bike Tour With Beach Stop
OverviewBike from coast to coast of this enchanting island, with a great lunch and beach stop at the end. Mountain biking is a unique way to explore the hidden and unspoiled parts of the green Corfu countryside. From the bike station in Dassia, you'll cycle into the green hinterland. As you continue along a country road, among the olive groves, you'll come to an old peasant house with the oldest barber shop on the islands. Here, you'll have the opportunity to refill your water bottle at the community spring, pick some oranges and local herbs, and then follow a "donkey track" that will lead you along hidden lakes to the vineyards of the Ropa Valley. In the cozy village square, where the locals play cards, relax and enjoy a refreshment in the local kafeneion, or Greek cafe. Next, continue along paths through pastures full of sheep to a traditional taverna for a private Greek souvlaki lunch. Then, ride downhill to the Ermones, the bay where Odysseus was washed ashore and met Nafsika. In the azure blue waters of the Ionian Sea, you'll wash off the dust from your ride and enjoy a refreshment at the beachfront taverna. There will be ample time for sunbathing or playing beach volleyball, and showers and dressing rooms will be available for your use. - The price of this tour includes round trip transportation from the cruise ship pier, a great guide, use of all equipment, a bottle of water, and BBQ souvlaki lunch with Greek salad. - This tour is suitable for guests in healthy physical condition with basic biking skills.
