Most Inspirational Moment
Day three, midway through the trip, we took a lightly-winding gravel path along the coast of Platanus that served up some of the most stunning views we've ever seen on the back of a bike. The path led to a beach where we swam in the sea and picnicked on delicious food before a rigorous climb out, up foothills and mountain passes before reaching our hotel and dinner restaurant, hosted by genuinely kind-hearted folks who helped make the perfect end of our day.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Alexandros said he felt like a parent to his "children", guiding us and showing us parts of his world that made him happy, proud, and reverent of the Greek history and culture. We indeed felt his sense of responsibility and were very happy with his direction and never-ending energy to keep us all happy, invested, and on the right path.
Advice for Potential Travellers
We believe these trips are best for those who have an open mind about what they will see, where/how they will go, and what they will eat. Handing off our predisposition for a fair amount of control of our day was, pleasingly, a key part of our joy. We reckon most people who say 'yes' to this kind of journey are like-minded, but it's important to arrive physically AND mentally prepared. We left feeling a world more enriched than when we came.
