Romania surprised me in many good ways, sufficient infrastructures, kind people and beautiful landscapes, and what can be better than experiencing all these on two wheels! Speaking of the crew, Raz and Geo, what a dream team! They led us to the most enjoyable itinerary and kept everyone safe and sound. They had done an up and beyond job accommodating everyone’s needs, at all time, and that’s not a small thing given 11 of us with wide range of fitness and physical capability. Highly recommend people come to see Romania and do it on two wheels.

Lycian Guided Walk

(5 reviews )

The Lycian guided walk from Fettiye to Antayla was a wonderful experience with two very capable and personable guides… our leader Egemen and cultural guide Tuncay. They were wonderful companions as well as expert guides. We were a small group and at times our pace was slow however adjustments were made accordingly. The coastal scenery was sensational and well worth the effort of walking up and down stony tracks! We swam every day, ate terrific authentic Turkish meals and the accomodation was very good. We learnt so much about this historic part of Turkey.

Well organised tour. I found the walks were more of a struggle than indicated in the trip notes and I opted out of a couple of them. The castle at Pylos was not as interesting as the castle/fort down the road at Methoni which was huge. Epidaurus, Mycenae, Olympia and Delphi were magnificent and brought to life by the local guides. Our tour leader Christos deserves a special mention as an excellent and knowledgeable guide also George our smiling attentive driver. A really memorable trip.

Amazing trip with a great bunch of fellow walkers - we all had a great time. Few minor hitches in terms of accommodation - village house needs reviewing as a stop, and final hotel needs refurbishment. Overall a wonderful week in the heat of early September along rocky footpaths in the mountains.

While the scenery and the Greek experience were great, the trip was made by a great CEO - Spy! She was amazing. Make sure to pack the following since they're not listed on the pack list: gloves, hiking poles, a sleeping bag liner, a fleece/windbreaker, and a beanie for the cold Mt Olympus climb. Also be prepared to use squatty potties for a day at the Mt Olympus refuge!
