Thinking of exploring Greece on two wheels?
Make your cycling holidays unforgettable by preparing smartly.

1. What to Pack

Bring breathable cycling clothes, a good helmet, sunscreen, water bottles, and tools for basic repairs. Don’t forget a windbreaker – Greece can get windy, especially in coastal areas!

2. Train for the Hills

Greece has rolling hills and mountainous terrain in many areas. Build your endurance before arrival with weekly rides, focusing on hill climbs and long distances.

3. Understand the Climate

Greece is hot in summer, especially July–August. The best cycling weather is in spring (April–June) and autumn (September–October). Start early in the day to avoid the midday sun.

4. Don’t Overpack

Avoid bringing too much – most guided or supported tours offer luggage transport. Carry just the essentials for each day on your bike.

5. Avoid Common Mistakes

New cyclists often underestimate the heat, forget sun protection, or bring unsuitable bikes. Ask your tour company for recommended gear and route info.
