Ancient sites
In the northeast Peloponnese the most famous sites include Mycenae, kingdom of the mythical King Agamemnon, and Epidaurus, with a UNESCO-listed amphitheatre renowned for its size, symmetry and acoustics. Both can be reached on day rides from a base in the hillside seaport of Nafplio. There is Tegea, boasting Hellenistic, Byzantine and Classical ruins, and Eva, home to the recently restored, second century Herodes Atticus Mansion that sports dozens of sculptures and colourful mosaics.
Practicalities
They usually operate from mid-May to mid-June, and late August to mid-October, and include 24-hour support. Vacations in the northeast of the Peloponnese tend to be more easygoing, suitable for virtually any fitness level, while in Laconia in the southeast daily rides are between 30km and 60km and require a little more exertion on the pedals.
On a small group trip you have a tour leader showing you the way on a more fixed itinerary, and the companionship and motivation that comes with other riders of similar abilities urging you up every summit. They generally operate in May, June, September and October, on door-to-door circular routes. Youll ride around 50km a day, beginning and ending in Athens.
Both types of trip usually last around a week, although on a tailor made vacation you can stay for longer if you wish. Luggage transfers between accommodations are provided, and you will normally have a choice of either road or hybrid bikes to hire (youll need your own helmet and water bottle). E-bikes are also available if you want a little extra oomph, as are tandems and bike trailers for anyone wanting to bring young children. Expect quiet tarmac roads for the most part and some dirt trails. Accommodations are typically locally owned hotels in less touristy areas that benefit immensely from this type of trip.
With tailormade trips, virtually every aspect of the itinerary can be customised, so you might have licensed archaeology guides waiting for you at key sites, and picnics provided en route.

Peloponnese cycling vacation tips from our travelers
Hard to pick out high points of this vacation because there were no low points. Even the brief and brutal thunderstorms on two occasions did not dampen the spirits (and only dampened cycling kit for a short while). The vacation was very, very enjoyable. Organisation was great and the Peloponnese is both quiet/rural/stuffed with ancient history which is worth the visit, and yet has fantastically enjoyable hotels and cooking. We came back refreshed. Lucy Watson on a Greece cycling and archaeology tour


This trip is ideal for someone who is comfortable on a bike, in good shape, and comfortable with different types of cycling: some long straightaways on the road, but also some significant mountain roads. As you would expect in Greece, also a good deal of off-road, but not technical. Riding next to the coast and through olive groves made this trip a unique experience. The one other tip I can give is to try to get as early a start each day as you can. The cycling averages 23 miles a day and there is a lot to stop and see along the way!
