The experience

You meet your guide in Kalabaka and receive all safety equipment before the tour starts. The route heads out of the city toward the hermit caves of Bandova, where you get your first panoramic view of the village Kastraki. From there you cycle into the protected UNESCO area itself, passing through Kastraki village and into the landscape of giant rock formations where the monasteries stand. Your guide explains the historical background as you ride, and you visit three of the six still-active monasteries.

The e-bikes do the work on climbs, so you can focus on the landscape and the stops. Your guide takes you to the most photogenic spots for pictures as you cycle among the rocks. The final stretch is a downhill run back to the meeting point in Kalabaka, where the tour ends.

Small groups keep the pace manageable and the experience personal. Reflective vests, helmets and raincoats are provided. Bring or request bottled water. The tour runs in English or Greek with the included guide. Other languages are available at an extra cost.
