Cancellation policy

The percentages in the table above are of the full trip price, not of what you’ve paid at the time of booking.

Cancellations made within 48 hours of booking receive a full refund on all plans, including booking fees and insurance. After the 48-hour window, your refund depends on your selected protection plan and when you cancel. Core and Premium plans extend your cancellation rights beyond the Standard policy:

  • With Core, a covered reason gets you 75% of your trip cost back — even the day before you go.
  • With Premium, a covered reason gets you 100% of your trip cost back — and any other reason gets you 75%, right up to the day you leave.
What counts as a covered reason
  • Sudden illness or injury — yours, a travel companion’s, or an immediate family member’s, confirmed by a doctor
  • Death of a traveler or an immediate family member
  • A natural disaster affecting your destination or your departure point
  • A government travel advisory against travel to your destination

Changing your mind isn’t a covered reason. Premium is the only plan that covers that. Documentation is required for all insurance claims.

Everything the travel insurance covers

Both plans include travel insurance through Redpoint Travel Protection. Core insures 75% of your trip cost; Premium insures 100%.

Maximum per person:

  • Trip cancellation — up to 100% of your trip cost
  • Cancel for any reason — up to 75% of your trip cost (Premium only)
  • Trip interruption — 150% of the trip cost limit
  • Trip delay — $200 a day, $1,000 max
  • Itinerary change — $250
  • Single occupancy supplement — up to 100% of trip cost
  • Missed connection — $1,000
  • Travel inconvenience — $250 each, $750 max
  • Pet return — $1,000 per pet
  • Baggage and personal effects — $2,500, max $300 an item
  • Baggage delay — $600, after 12 hours
  • Baggage delivery — $100 per trip
  • Emergency medical expenses — $100,000
  • Medical evacuation and repatriation — up to $1,000,000

These are maximums. What a claim actually pays depends on what you can document and on the policy’s exclusions — pre-existing conditions and undeclared activities among them. We’ll send the full policy wording with your confirmation.

  • We start in Athens and transfer south to the Mani Peninsula, where our first ride drops us into seaside Limeni and finishes in Areopoli for two nights. The second day loops through southern Mani; the third mixes hidden beaches with a picnic lunch before we transfer east to Monemvasia for three nights. From there we ride to the little fjord at Gerakas for a seafood lunch and swim, then follow the coast to the ferry across to Elafonisos and Simos Beach, ending with a farewell dinner. On the way back to Athens we stop at Mystras, the UNESCO Byzantine city above Sparta.

    • We leave Athens by private transfer and watch the scenery shift into rugged mountains, stone villages, and olive groves as we reach the Mani Peninsula, one of the most authentic corners of Greece. The riding starts from a hidden mountain village well off the tourist routes, with quiet roads leading us through dramatic country down to Limeni, a seaside village of stone houses and clear water where we stop for a relaxed lunch. In the afternoon we pedal on to Areopoli, the historic heart of Mani with its towers and narrow alleys. Check-in is around 5 pm, then the rest of the day is yours by the pool or in town.

      Meals: Lunch
      Distance: 20 km (12 mi)
      Accommodation: Kastro Maini, Areopoli (3-star)

      Athens to the Mani Peninsula, riding to Limeni and Areopoli — Cycling in Peloponnese

    • Straight from the hotel, we ride into the southernmost tip of Mani through olive groves, sleepy villages, and coastline with the Mediterranean in view almost the whole way. A big moment comes at Vathia, the abandoned tower village known as the ghost village of Mani, where deserted stone alleys look frozen in time. We also stop at the Diros Caves, a underground world of lakes, crystal water, and wild rock formations. Lunch is served in a spectacular seaside setting with traditional Maniot flavors, and later we pause at Gerolimenas beach for a swim or a coffee. Back in Areopoli around 5 pm, the evening is free.

      Meals: Breakfast, lunch
      Distance: 67 km (42 mi)
      Accommodation: Kastro Maini, Areopoli (3-star)

      Southern Mani loop: Vathia, Diros Caves, and Gerolimenas — Cycling in Peloponnese

    • Today shows us another face of Mani: coastal roads, small stone chapels, traditional villages, and sea views that keep opening up. After a few hours of riding we drop down to a secluded beach where a light picnic lunch is waiting, with nothing around but the sound of the water. The cycling ends there and a private transfer takes us east to Monemvasia, the medieval fortress town built on a huge rock rising out of the sea. We hike up to the upper town for the views and the Byzantine history behind them, then check in around 5 pm for three nights. Pool, quiet streets, your call.

      Meals: Breakfast, lunch
      Distance: 53 km (33 mi)
      Accommodation: Hotel Panorama, Monemvasia (3-star)

      Hidden beaches of Mani, then transfer to Monemvasia — Cycling in Peloponnese

    • We set off early toward Gerakas, one of the hidden gems of the southeastern Peloponnese. Often called a small Greek fjord, it’s a quiet natural harbor ringed by steep cliffs, fishing boats, and water you can see straight through. Getting there is half the fun: calm roads, rolling hills, and the sea in view most of the way. Lunch is our proper introduction to Greek seafood, right on the waterfront, with fresh fish and local specialties. There’s time for a swim before we turn the pedals back toward Monemvasia. In the evening, a wine tasting inside the medieval castle, including the famous Malvasia that made this town known across Byzantine Europe.

      Meals: Breakfast, lunch, wine tasting
      Distance: 50 km (31 mi)
      Accommodation: Hotel Panorama

      Ride to Gerakas fjord and wine tasting in the castle — Cycling in Peloponnese

    • Our last day on the bikes is one of the best. Quiet coastal roads with barely any traffic carry us past open sea views and untouched shoreline until we reach the small port of Pounta, where a short ferry crossing drops us on the island of Elafonisos. Here we spend time at Simos Beach, often named among the most beautiful sandy beaches in Europe, with white sand, dunes, and turquoise water that looks almost tropical. Lunch follows in the little harbor town, then a private transfer brings us back to Monemvasia. Tonight we celebrate with a farewell dinner: local flavors, wine, and stories from the road.

      Meals: Breakfast, lunch, farewell dinner
      Distance: 48 km (30 mi)
      Elevation: +592 m (+1,942 ft)
      Accommodation: Hotel Panorama

      Coastal roads to Elafonisos, Simos Beach, and farewell dinner — Cycling in Peloponnese

    • The riding is done, but the best history lesson of the week is still ahead. Heading north, we stop at Mystras, the UNESCO World Heritage Site often called the Byzantine wonder of Greece. Built on the slopes above Sparta, it was once one of the most important cities of the Byzantine Empire, and walking its stone paths past monasteries, churches, and palace ruins really does feel like stepping into another century. With mountains all around and hardly a sound, the place is as peaceful as it is impressive. Afterwards, we continue the transfer back to Athens and drop you at your hotel in the city centre.

      Meals: Breakfast
      Accommodation: Hotel Athinais, Athens (3-star)

      Mystras and the return transfer to Athens — Cycling in Peloponnese

    • Enjoy a last breakfast in central Athens before saying goodbye. The hotel sits a five-minute walk from the Metro, so getting around is easy if your flight leaves later in the day. Museums, shops, and cafés are all within a 15-minute stroll, the National Gallery is 1 km (0.6 mi) away, and Plaka and the Acropolis are 3 km (1.9 mi) from the door. A transfer to the airport can be arranged on request. Safe travels, and we hope the Mani coast stays with you for a while.

      Meals: Breakfast

    • In order to join this e-bike tour, good fitness is required as well as no previous cycling tour experience, just comfort riding a bike. You’ll cover 238 km (147 mi) in total across five riding days, on a route rated Level 2 out of 5.

      Pedal assistance does a lot of the work, so climbs in Mani and along the coast feel far gentler than they look, and you can dial the support up or down to match your legs. A support vehicle follows the whole route, so you can hop in any time you’d rather rest, and luggage is transferred for you, meaning you ride with nothing more than a light day bag. Note that this trip is not recommended for travelers with heart problems or other serious medical conditions.
