Island Hopping By E-Bike & Boat Mamma Mia Islands Sporades & Pelion Plus 2025

Skiathos - Alonnisos - Skopelos - Euboea - Pelion Peninsula - Palaio Trikeri - Pelion Peninsula - Skiathos

This one-week tour by e-bike & boat takes you to one of the most scenic regions in Greece. Combining the islands of Sporades, which have become world-famous thanks to Hollywood, with the island of Euboea and the Pelion peninsula, it creates a picture-book vacation week. On the way, you will visit the islands of Skopelos and Skiathos, the most important filming locations from Mamma Mia, but even without Meryl Streep and Pierce Brosnan, the wooded Sporades are simply enchanting.

Whether Alonissos, Skopelos, Skiathos or Palaio Trikeri: each of these Aegean islands has its very own character, which is why the entire archipelago impresses with its great diversity. The same applies to Euboea, the second largest island in Greece and the simply breathtaking Pelion peninsula. Look forward to fantastic e-bike tours, quaint harbours, traditional mountain villages, fragrant pine forests, sensational beaches and bays and delicious Greek food!

This tour is part of the Island Hopping PLUS program. The PLUS tours offer guests a plus all-round: a comfortable motor yacht, unlimited e-bike availability, as well as some pleasant surprises along the way.

Along the way, there are wonderful views of the mini islands off the coast. The route continues onto a high plateau and finally follows a long descent into the bay of Gerakas, where your boat awaits you for lunch.

You start from Skopelos town and cycle along a panoramic road through the impressive mountain world to the lighthouse at Cape Gourouni. On the way to Loutraki, you will also pass the beach of Perivoliou, which is reminiscent of the Irish coastline.

Your ship will take you to the north coast of Euboea. From Pefki, your cycle tour today takes you through the traditional mountain villages of Avgaria and Galatsona to the beautiful port of Orei, where your ship awaits you for a late lunch on board.

Today’s tour begins in the picturesque harbour of Agia Kyriaki and takes you past the mountain village of Trikeri to the bay of Alogoporos, where you can give your bikes a rest and take a sea taxi to the care-free mini-island of Palao Trikeri. The enchanting island is only 4.5 km² in size and is best explored on foot. If you like, you can visit the Greek Orthodox monastery of the Virgin Mary or go for a swim on one of the island’s beaches. Later there is time for an individual lunch in one of the traditional island tavernas before the sea cab takes you back to Alogoporos. From there, you will continue your journey by e-bike until you finally reach the port of Kottes, where you will have dinner on board and spend the night.

Your boat will be waiting for you there and you will cross over to the neighbouring island of Skiathos. In the afternoon, a transfer will pick you up from Skiathos town and take you to the monastery of Evangelistria and the picturesque Parissis winery, where you can enjoy not only a fabulous view of the island’s capital, but also some of the best wins of the Spora islands.

E-bike tours are suitable for Island Hoppers with a good basic level of fitness. The tours and the elevation metres are very manageable with an e-bike (22-42 km and 300-900 elevation meters per day). The roads are mostly asphalted. Your tour guide will inform you each day about the tour details. This tour is primarily a guided group tour however, upon consultation with your tour guides, it may be possible to cycle on your own along recommended, suitable routes. You are free to set aside a half or full day to swim or spend on board the boat, instead of taking a planned cycle tour.

Children
We believe that only children with a good physical condition and previous bicycle tour experience and a minimum age of 10 are able to master the cycle tours with their own strength. Please note that the minimum height for a rental e-bike is 1.50m (5 ft.). When travelling with children, we recommend the Multi-Adventure Tours in Greece and Croatia which are specifically curated for families and offer family-friendly pricing.
