If you’re looking for a Grecian cycling adventure that escapes the crowded tourist centers, this VBT | Country Walkers vacation is a breath of fresh air. The Peloponnese Peninsula juts into the azure waters of the Aegean Sea, and here you’ll experience authentic Greece. Cycling from historic Sparta, your Greek Trip Leaders introduce you to local traditions dating back to ancient times. Discover the region’s important role in the Byzantine Empire as you explore the imperial capital of Mystras with a local archeologist. Meet local fishermen and try your hand at shrimp fishing in the protected wetlands of Limin Gerakas. As you spin past seaside villages dipping their toes in Aegean waters, you may even feel the heart of western civilization pulsing beneath your wheels.
Tour Highlights
- Uncover the treasures of the hillside medieval gem of Mystras, the Byzantine Empire's cultural capital for nearly a millennium, during a guided visit with an expert archaeologist.
- Ride through the fertile Sparta Valley and along the scenic Peloponnesian coast, from peaceful olive groves beneath Mt. Taygetos to the picturesque fishing port of Gytheio.
- Wander the maze of alleyways in the medieval castle town of Monemvasia, a crossroads of Byzantine, Frankish, Venetian, and Ottoman civilizations.
- Join a local taverna owner for a hands-on shrimp-fishing excursion in the protected wetlands of Limin Gerakas, then learn to prepare traditional garidopetoules during an authentic cooking demonstration.
- Cycle to beautiful Elafonisos Island, where crystal-clear turquoise waters, white-sand beaches, and a laid-back fishing village offer the perfect Greek island escape.
The experience with VBT went beyond expectations as did the part of Greece where we cycled. The Peloponnesian Peninsula is a relatively undiscovered biking jewel, I enjoyed it far more than biking various Greek Islands. Accommodations were excellent and Greek food speaks for itself. VBT and the guides went out of their way in providing a 5 star experience. The bikes were new and top quality, the routes were varied and interesting. The guides bent over backwards to please us and provide a great biking as well as cultural experience.
