Reviews for Greek Islands Cycling tour, Cyclades
Ray Dixon review 1 Jul 2026
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?
Cycling along exciting hilly routes in windy conditions amongst beautiful landscapes.2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Be prepared to wheel both your luggage and your bike onto the ferries. Expect some delays in the ferry schedules on the islands. Some of the ferry ports are chaotic. After leaving the ferry, be patient and allow time for the taxi driver to arrive and transport your luggage. Some road surfaces are rough and in need of repair, so pay attention to potholes etc.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The carbon footprint is reduced by cycling instead of using motorised transport. The routes enable access to remote areas, where local people may benefit from increased trade.4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
An excellent opportunity to cycle on several cyclades islands, some of which are not overrun by excessive tourism. Many of the inland villages on the tour are absolutely immaculate. The hotels are of high quality and the tour operator made a lot of effort to co-ordinate my requested tour extension (which involved extra nights on the islands) with the available ferry schedules.Gary Richards review 29 Sep 2024

Sense of achievement at the end of the day of having cycled through beautiful scenery. Greek hospitality/ warmth2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?
Good to get away by 9 am to get bulk of cycling done before midday heat. If Ride with GPS trip identifies a place on the route where you might stop for a break, take the hint. Padded cycling shorts are a must.3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes. We patronised local restaurants and supported a small but high quality company that had arranged a lovely trip4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?
