Overview
The Dodecanese islands, almost within hailing distance of Anatolia, are the furthest island group from the Greek mainland. Each island has its own charm and characteristic landmarks, ranging historically from the times of Byzantine and Ottoman rule to the Italian era and contemporary Greece. Our 12-day cycling tour of the Dodecanese features seven days on a privately chartered yacht, which will not only provide us with comfortable accommodations and freshly prepared meals, but will also allow us to explore the beautifully carved coastlines of the islands we visit, and enjoy leisurely stops in impressive bays with crystal-clear water. Cycle along quiet roads on hilly terrain and explore 9 different islands. Attractions include the wonderful medieval enclave of Rhodes Old Town; the gorgeous ensemble of Neoclassical mansions that surrounds the harbor on Sými; the grandiose temple-sanatorium of Asklepion on Kos; the rugged landscapes of Kálymnos; the cave and monastery on Pátmos, where St John had his vision of the Apocalypse…and many more.***If this sounds great but you prefer a shorter trip, check out our 7 night, 8 day Bike and Boat the Dodecanese Islands tour. ***

It was a great way to explore some lesser known Greek islands. Loved the comaraderie of being with leaders and participants on the boat and off.

If you like being on the water and biking some remote Greek islands this is tour for you. It is well run and it is great you can stay on the boat the whole time and not pack each day. The cycling is not very hard except for one day and very easy if you are on a e-bike.

The rides were challenging and rewarding and the scenery was beautiful. The wildflowers were in full bloom and beautiful. The meals and wines were a delight. We also had a great group to be with.
