A guided eight-day boat-and-bike holiday in the Ionian Islands. You live aboard a crewed motor yacht, the Panagiota, which starts and ends in Corfu. Each day combines a bike ride with an English-speaking guide and a sail to the next island, and you sleep on board in the harbour each night.

The route crosses to Sivota and Parga on the mainland, then continues to Lefkas with a waterfall near Nidri, and on to Cephalonia, where you see Assos and Myrtos beach and row through Melissani cave. From there you visit Ithaca, the quiet villages of Meganisi and Paxos, before sailing back to Corfu for a farewell dinner on board.

Daily rides are roughly 17–39 km on hilly island roads, and the tour is graded challenging. Hybrid bikes and a limited number of e-bikes are available to hire. You stay seven nights in a twin cabin below deck with its own shower and toilet, and above-deck cabins are available as an upgrade. The trip includes two full-board and five half-board days, guided rides and sightseeing, and group entry to museums and archaeological sites.
