By bike and boat from Athens to Corfu

Your journey by bike and boat to the Ionian Islands begins in Athens. A shared transfer (not included, on request) takes you to Marina Zeas in Piraeus, the historic port of the Greek capital. Embarkation on the MS Panagiota begins in the afternoon at around 2.00 pm. In the evening, the first dinner takes place on board, ideal for getting to know the crew and your fellow travelers. You will spend the night on board in the port of Piraeus

In the morning, take the boat to the Greek island of Aegina, which is known far beyond the country's borders for its high-quality pistachios. Your first bike tour takes you to the impressive Temple of Aphaia. Situated high up, it offers a spectacular view of the surrounding area. In the afternoon, you will cross the Corinth Canal by boat. If the weather conditions are good, the journey continues towards Galaxidi, a charming coastal town with a maritime flair. If the weather prevents you from continuing, you will spend the night in or near Corinth.

Today the bike stays on board - instead, a coach trip to Delphi, one of the most important sites of ancient Greece, awaits you. Immerse yourself in the world of mythology and history, where the famous Oracle of Delphi once predicted the future of rulers from all over the world. On a tour of the extensive excavation site, you will discover impressive remains such as the Temple of Apollo and the ancient stadium. Around midday, the bus takes you to Nafpaktos, a charming little harbor town. There is time here for lunch or a stroll through the town. Continue by bus to Mesolongi. Your ship is already waiting for you here in the port.

In the morning, you set off on the longer crossing by boat to Ithaca - another highlight of your trip by bike and boat to the Ionian Islands. Weather permitting, you can enjoy a refreshing swim in the crystal-clear sea en route before docking in the picturesque port of Vathy. In the afternoon, explore Ithaca by bike: a pristine, mountainous island with breathtaking landscapes and authentic flair. Off the beaten track, you will experience the tranquillity and beauty of nature. Olive groves, steep coastlines, spectacular views and the deep blue sea accompany you on your tour. Overnight stay in Vathy.

In the morning, the crossing to the island of Meganisi begins. Cycle along lonely, panoramic island roads through traditional villages and gain authentic insights into traditional Greek island life. A relaxing swim break on the beach at Spartochori rounds off the morning. In the afternoon, you will continue your journey by boat to Nidri on the island of Lefkas. There you have the opportunity to cycle through rustic olive groves to the hidden waterfall of Nidri - a worthwhile detour into the green nature of the island. Overnight stay in Nidri

Auch heute steht Ihnen auf der Reise mit Rad und Schiff zu den Ionischen Inseln eine abwechslungsreiche Etappe bevor. Die Radtour führt Sie durch die beeindruckende Bergwelt von Lefkas bis zur Inselhauptstadt. Unterwegs erwarten Sie herrliche Ausblicke über das Meer und eine wohlverdiente Pause im traditionellen Bergdorf Karia – bei frischem Kaffee und griechischer Gelassenheit in luftiger Höhe. In Lefkas-Stadt gehen Sie wieder an Bord. Nach einer längeren Überfahrt erreichen Sie die Insel Paxos. Am Abend erreichen Sie den idyllischen Naturhafen von Gaios.

Paxos, the smallest of the seven Ionian Islands, is characterized by endless olive groves, which give the landscape its characteristic silvery-green color. In the morning, you will explore the entire island by bike. Along the way, idyllic bays invite you to take a refreshing dip in the Mediterranean. In the afternoon, the ship will take you to the island of Corfu. Get to know the Venetian old town of Corfu Town on a walk. In the evening, a cozy dinner takes place on board the ship.

Your journey by bike and boat to the Ionian Islands ends with numerous wonderful impressions. Disembark after breakfast and start your journey home. A shared transfer to Corfu Airport (not included) is available on request.
