01.The Fantastic Faneromeni Ride
(34 km loop | 300 m elevation ⬆️ and ⬇️ )
Escape the hustle of Athens and immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Salamina with our scenic bike tour in the northern part of the island. Your electric bike will take you along well-maintained roads, through peaceful rural landscapes, coastal stretches, and shaded forest paths.
Along the way, we’ll pass by (and possibly visit, if open) the historic Faneromeni Monastery, a serene and spiritual landmark on the island. Midway through the ride, we’ll stop for a delicious local lunch at a traditional taverna with sea view. Of course there is also time to relax at the beach and to take a dip in the crystal clear waters of the Saronic Sea.
This tour is perfect for anyone comfortable on a bicycle without major elevation, but just a beautiful and breezy ride on quiet roads with wonderful views!

Discover the southeastern coast of Salamina on a relaxing and scenic electric bike ride designed for those who want to soak up the beauty of the island at a slower pace. This route takes you along quiet, well-maintained coastal roads, winding from one picturesque bay to the next with the sparkling sea just meters away.
Far from the buzz of the city, you'll feel completely immersed in island life—peaceful, sun-drenched, and full of charm.

(26.5 km | 700 m elevation ⬆️ and ⬇️ )
Looking for a more challenging ride, but with a big reward? Our Kanakia Bike Ride is perfect for those who are not afraid to sweat and who love the uphill climbs and the thrilling downhills.
This activity takes you through the southwestern hills of Salamina, riding on well-maintained roads deep into the largest forest in the entire Athens region! It’s a part of the island that feels like a world of its own: peaceful, wild, and breathtakingly beautiful.
As you climb through the forested hills, you’ll be treated to amazing panoramic views and the fresh scent of the trees. After a thrilling and great downhill we reach the village Kanakia where a refreshing swim and a delicious local lunch with sea view awaits you.
This tour includes a 30-minute van transfer to and from the starting point. Although the ride is shorter in distance than our Faneromeni bike ride, this ride is much more challenging. The elevation is twice as much and you need to be an experienced cyclist and know how to bike in the mountains without being afraid of steep uphills and fast downhills.
