Corfu

Greek Delight on Green Corfu

During this 8-day cycling adventure, you’ll truly discover every side of lush Corfu. Starting in Vatos, you pedal toward the ultimate relaxing village of Kouramades, considered one of the island’s most beautiful. Further along, Corfu proves its green reputation once more—home to around four million olive trees. Just outside Panorama, you ride into an enchanting forest filled with twisted, towering trees planted close together to reach for the sky. Then, the coastline comes back into view. You arrive at Gardeno Beach, where the local taverna serves delicious moussaka. And of course, you’ll enjoy a foamy Greek beer right on the beach.

Next, the east coast awaits—with flat seaside boulevards and the occasional challenging climb. Then it’s a breezy descent to the Achilleion, once the palace of Empress Sisi of Austria. And on to Corfu’s most photographed monastery: the white Vlachérna. In the island’s capital, Kerkyra, it’s time to leave the bike behind and wander through its charming alleyways. The road on the northeastern side of Corfu winds high above the water, offering spectacular views. One last stop on the way: picking up fresh fruit from a local farmer. Because that, too, is part of the true Greek experience.
