Olympic History & Legends from the Mountains to the Sea
This is Greece’s mythical heartland. Traverse it the way ancient heroes did—on foot, by sea and astride your (updated) steed—while staying in lotus eater-worthy accommodations that are anything but Spartan.
Highlights
- Bike and hike from pastoral Mediterranean countryside to rugged canyons and gorgeous coastline in the heart of ancient Greece
- Cool off at white-sand beaches, in striking infinity pools and in kayaks on the blue Aegean
- Rest your head at remarkable escapes, from a minimalist vision of seaside luxe to a restored Byzantine mansion with secret spaces and intriguing history
- Tavernas, olive oil and seafood—oh my! Years of experience in Greece have helped us handpick culinary gems
- It doesn’t take a Herculean effort to fall in love with this colorful peninsula crowned by mountains and lapped by azure waves

See the Greece You Never Knew Existed
Great itinerary, interesting locations, well-planned and well-run. High energy team, all the bikes worked very well...the list is likely much longer, but there is not much, maybe anything, I would change. Our trip leaders were fantastic - they have excellent customer experience skills and did a great job balancing our individual needs while being available to everyone. They truly delivered what we needed, when we needed it. Great job! It was a fun to anticipate the morning briefing...it was delivered in new ways each day. We had plenty of situations throughout the trip - things happen (flat tires, bruised egos, stuff like that). And there was our leader team - ready to make it all work! They demonstrated what team really means. We all felt their presence and leadership during the entire trip!
