Explore Cephalonia Island by Bike Tour

Make your way to the gorgeous island of Cephalonia and await your transfer at the airport or bus station to be taken to Mousata. Here, you’ll meet with your guide to sort out your bike for the next week.

There’s no set itinerary for today, so feel free to relax or take your bike out for a test run around the hotel. Find yourself some flavourful snacks, which shouldn’t be hard since you’re in Greece now!

Wake up and enjoy bed and breakfast service at your hotel before heading out for a half-day cycling excursion. Hop on your bike and head for the hills as you ascend to Argostoli, Cephalonia’s capital. On the way, you’ll pedal through typical Greek villages like Keramies, Metaxata, and Kourkoumetata. Practice your Greek as you ride through and wave to locals.

Reach Argostoli for a well-earned break on a seaside terrace, then continue along a ridge towards the south coast. You’ll ride along a dirt road, stop for a visit at the Monastery Agiou Andrea if you wish, then return to Mousata for the night.

Enjoy a lovely breakfast, then it’s time to head out. You have two options, and both will take you to the eastern part of the island. Whichever route you choose, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping sea views as you ride to Skala, a quaint seaside resort. You can also visit Katelios, a small fishing village with a sea turtle info centre.

Pedal your way back to Mousata as the sun sets and get a good night’s sleep.

After breakfast, you will continue exploring the island and end in a new destination, Agis Efimia. Pedal past Myrtos Beach, an epic viewpoint, and keep going across the island through many charming villages, eventually descending to what will seem like a paradise with few houses hugging the rocky shores. Settle into your hotel and go for a dip in the crystal clear water.

Today will be full of adventure as you cycle to Sami and back. Start the excursion with a ride to Melissani Lake, where you can hop in a small kaiki (boat) for a quick paddle.

Continue on your bike through olive groves and vineyards—the quintessential Mediterranean landscapes you’ve been dreaming of. Stop in your choice of local villages for a coffee, then keep pedalling to the Drogarati Caves before hitting Sami and turning around. If you feel like it, pause and Andisamos Beach before returning to Agia Efimia.

You have two options for today, and one will certainly be more challenging if you’re up for it. You’ll cycle to the northernmost village of Fiscardo, passing stunning sites along the way. Ride along a coastal road, admiring the magnificent, almost unbelievable views of the Ionian Sea. Make a loop around the island through many villages and return to Agia Efimia.

On your final full day of this tour, you’re in for a treat! It’s a demanding day, but it will be worth it. First, you’ll ascend to Mt. Aenos, from where you’ll get breathtaking views of villages you’ve visited in days past. Pedal through a crucial area for Robola wine, a white wine originating in this region. Feel free to stop and have a glass!

After your stop at the winery, visit the nearby cathedral and monastery, then descend towards Argostoli for your last night.

In the morning, you have some time to explore Argostoli, visit the museum, or have a coffee in the main square. You’ll get a ride to the airport to check-in for your flight.
