When it comes to cycling around Zakynthos you may have not thought that it could be possible, how wrong could one be.
Although there are not many guided tours by the use of the bicycle one could easily rent one and just take off on their own to discover what lies ahead.
There are however, a few people on our island that take cycling seriously and have actually dedicated their time to provide professional help and of course guided tours to places that most have not even seen.
Our Island is full of exciting courses, some that are easy and others which can be quite demanding to say the least. With areas around the valley of Zakynthos which are flat and long, to areas ascending high in the mountains or even tricky descending twists and turns.
Obviously depending on the rider and what he/she experience has, the trails would be picked appropriately. The guided tours obviously have chosen the most substantial trails for the rider, regardless his/her level, however, with special interest on having the best ride possible whilst learning about our nature and our cultural treasures in a safe and enjoyable atmosphere.
During your stay you may wish to try some of the organised trail rides available, do some heavy duty mountain bike riding or just book and easy pedal tour around our town. There is a route of everyone! Υou can cycle among the olive groves in Keri,
take a ride around the National Marine Park, visit the outer villages and taste a bit more of traditional life or you can just enjoy the forest areas of Volimes and Maries. Just know that as far as recreation goes, cycling can be something for all to enjoy.
