Description
A cycling tour in Santorini is far more than just an outdoor activity, it is an intimate encounter with the island’s hidden soul.

This unique landmark tells the story of Santorini’s famous cherry tomatoes, offering a nostalgic glimpse into the island’s traditional production and heritage. From there, the path leads you along stunning coastlines, where the deep blue of the Aegean meets volcanic sands and crystal-clear waters.As you ride further inland, the island’s medieval past comes alive. Passing through the shadows of imposing Venetian castles, you feel the weight of history in every stone. The route then leads to the ultimate reward: the breath-taking views of the Caldera.

Itinerary
On the beach of Vlychada in Santorini, with the impressive volcanic rock formations, the Tomato Industrial Museum “D. Nomikos” with its characteristic chimney that dominates the lunar landscape, narrates stories, not only about the business history of Nomikos’ family, but also about time, memories and the inhabitants of the island.
When someone hears the term “Black Beach”, several questions come into his mind as the sight of a beach with black color is fairly unusual. So let’s find out the answers to all the questions!
The medieval castle of Emporio is quite a sight and definitely the greatest attraction of Emporio village. An exploration of the well-maintained castle and its nearby tower will revive a past era of glory and give you an alternative experience.
The vineyards lie close to the ground, pruned in a shape of basket to protect the grapes, which grow in the center of the basket......
The Venetian Castle lies in Akrotiri village, on the southern side of Santorini. In addition to its historical importance that makes it one of the most visited landmarks in Santorini, it is a wonderful viewpoint, from where you can admire the caldera.
Megalochori means “great village.” As a village, Megalochori as we know it dates back until at least the 17th Century, making it comparatively young by Greek standards.

The tomato museum was actually really cool to see, we also tried a variety of ways they prepare them - each one was very delicious! The tour was a good pace, with awesome views and unique behind-the-scenes knowledge about this neat island! A must on your Santorini trip!!
We are a family with three older teens in June. This was an amazing experience. Its a great way to see the island with a little adventure and breeze. Yannis was an amazing guide. He was the perfect companion with fun facts and stories about the island. The snacks were delicious. This experience is much better than a boring personal driver and the bikes take you where the cars cant.
We had a great ride with Yanis! He was super friendly, very knowledgeable, and the bikes were in excellent condition. Ride was moderately challenging for middle-aged riders, but doable. Yanis safely took care of our whole group throughout the trip, And the mid-ride snack at the village taverna was fresh and delicious. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience!
We had a great time! The tomato museum tour before our ride was very interesting. Giannis is a great bicycle guide, with clear communication. Learned a lot about the island history and culture. It rained for a lot of our ride, but no problems. Love the e-bikes!
I would highly recommend this bike tour. We had a group of four and it was a lot of fun. The guide picked us up on time and was very friendly. The bike tour was the perfect mix of historical information and fun on the bikes. The bikes were nice pedal assist bikes that were easy to handle and comfortable. The guide spoke excellent English and had a lot of interesting information to share. This was a great way to see a part of Santorini that most people don’t get to see. Great experience!
What a fun way to explore the island of Santorini! Giannis is very knowledgeable of local history and fun facts, while crafting a tour that is fun and informative for all ages and skill levels. The E-bikes are very easy to use and customizable for different terrains and difficulties. Highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in seeing the island without sitting on a bus all day!!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are thrilled to hear that you enjoyed exploring Santorini on our e-bikes and made the experience both fun and informative for you. It’s our goal to offer a unique, active way to see the island’s beauty away from the crowds. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you again on your next visit!"
We absolutely loved this tour! It was hands down the best tour we had in all of Santorini. The E-bike was fantastic- we loved the adventure of biking the small sidewalks to the rough rocks and loose sand. Even the steep climbs were fun. Yannis was fantastic. We enjoyed the history , snacks and great conversations. The view and bike ride along the cliff was spectacular. Even though I walked a bit. Don’t miss out on this adventure.
We really had a great time with our guide Giannis! What could be better than cycling and a knowledgeable and loving guide of his region to show you around a place (?) Beautiful walk with lots of comments, interesting anecdotes about the course. And that beautiful views also...🤩 The whole family has been won over, we can only highly recommend!
Giannis was so kind, knowledgeable & fun. Made sure we were safe and that we had the best of time. I recommend 100%
Wonderful experience. Yannis was a delight - engaged, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. We rode through parts of Santorini we wouldn't have seen otherwise. The brief stop at a cafe for refreshments was a nice touch. Highly recommend.
