Just recently completed the Ionian bike boat trip. Can’t fault the trip, we had some logistic issues due to weather and the guides Alex and Katerina handled the complexities well and came up with satisfactory alternatives. The guides were very personable and very caring, we had one member who could not cycle due to an injury sustained a few days before joining and they went out of their way to accommodate her participation in visits to features throughout the trip. The food was excellent and the crew did an amazing job catering for our needs. We were not on e-bikes and found it quite hard going, as most rides required long uphill ascents, if I had my time again I would have selected an e-bike, even though I managed the rides it took away from my enjoyment as in my opinion it was very extreme. Both guides were on e-bikes which probably says a lot for the extreme nature of the climbs.

A very well organised and enjoyable trip, the two guides, in particular Alexandros, tried hard to make this an enjoyable experience. We visited five Ionian islands, it would have been more, but the weather and the captain were restricted a little by the weather. The ebikes took the stress out of the cycling as some the Ionians have steep hill climbs.Some in our group found the cycling quite challenging. I enjoyed the excellent food. My cabin, below deck, was a bit small and cramped. I enjoyed Ithaca, Paxos and Meganisi most of all, as they were less developed. Some of the waterfronts have rows of outdoor restaurants and are quite sophisticated. Overall, a very enjoyable experience.
