Self-guided Bicycletour Rhodos, Kos & Leros
This
11-day cycling holiday takes in three beautiful cycling islands in the
southeast of Greece: Rhodes, Kos and Leros, with a stop-over in
Kalymnos.
You will become familiar with the Greek islands of
the Colossus and the Asclepeion, the crusaders and the sponge
fishermen. The islands are each little paradises of their own, with
both Italian and Turkish influences. You will enjoy a balance of
cycling, cultural heritage excursions and boat trips on azure blue
waters. The unknown Leros is the real surprise of this cycling holiday:
a green jewel. You will cycle along
stretches of coastline, only encountering a real incline very
occasionally.
