Bike and Cruise Grécia

Sail and cycle along the best-preserved coastline of the Aegean Sea aboard a handcrafted traditional gulet.

A unique combination of luxury cruising and guided cycling in the heart of Greek civilization.

From 15/05 to 22/05 2027 From 04/09 to 11/09 2027

Sailing and Cycling the Wine Dark Aegean

As Homer described it in the Iliad, the Aegean Sea played a crucial role in the emergence of Greek civilization and mythology. The Dodecanese archipelago represents the pinnacle of rugged Mediterranean beauty: whitewashed villages, secluded beaches, and a surprising food and wine scene await you at every anchorage.

From ancient settlements and temples to medieval castles, stylish Italian architecture, and submerged wartime wrecks, the past comes alive in the Dodecanese. Each island — large and small — reveals its own individual character and story.

This incredibly rich program combines the ancient Greek history with the natural beauty of the Aegean, the finest Greek cuisine, and the pampering service of our diligent onboard crew.
