About this experience
CORFU COUNTRYSIDE, FORESTS AND VILLAGES: (Tours 1-4)
Experience the Authentic Corfu by bicycle!
Hillside Villages I, II, III and the "The Pink Bike Tour"
Biking tours through the extensive network of provincial routes and around outstanding old villages that have remained almost untouched for decades. "The Pink Bike Tour" takes you to most places where the "Durrells" were filmed. All the above tours combine the fun of riding in the nature and an introduction to the Corfiot history, architecture and culture.
Nature and Forest, mountainbiking
A round tour away from traffic, in the olive-tree groves. It is a mixed terrain of forest roads, with a few climbs and gravel tracks. Ionian flora of this region is simply impressive.
