Overview

Explore the olive groves and medieval villages of Corfu on bike, and then head to the beach.

Mountain biking is a unique way to explore the hidden and unspoiled parts of the green Corfu countryside. Cycle under the cool shade of the island's ageless olive groves on country roads and trails passing through some unknown and hidden, yet most picturesque, traditional villages.

This easy-going bike tour offers you the opportunity to see three medieval villages and to explore the beautiful land and seascapes of Corfu by bike. When you get to the shop, you'll select your favorite bicycle and receive the necessary road instructions. Accompanied by your experienced local guide, you'll start with some easy biking along the beautiful Ionian Sea.

After a while, you'll leave the coastal road and enter Corfu's green hinterland. Then it's a short climb along impressive ancient olive groves to the medieval town of San Marcos, a Venetian hamlet with carefully restored mansions and a chapel dating back to Byzantine times. Your effort will be rewarded with stunning views from the bell tower, from the green inner plains of the island all the way to the port of Corfu.

Now continue to one of Corfu's most picturesque medieval villages, Ano Korakiana. Visit the old bakery with their olive wood oven, where you'll be invited to taste the very special "old-style" bread or a specialty Greek sweet. Stroll through the narrow paved alleys with numerous Venetian mansions, and inhale the typical village atmosphere from times long past.

Your bike ride continues along the olive groves and vineyards to reach the pretty taverna near Kato Korakiana. After that, it's on to the beach! Spend the second half of your day relaxing at the beautiful beach of the Elea Beach Hotel where a towel and sunbed are waiting for you. Take in the sun, stroll the sand or try some of the many watersports available for rent (you will pay directly at the beach). Access to the pool and jacuzzi are also included, as is a delicious, refreshing Greek lunch.
