Our ship, Running on Waves could not have been better. The ship was immaculately clean. Our cabin’s, although small, were very comfortable. I would have to say the staff met our every need. The food was amazing, every meal was a variety and extremely well prepared. Due to the closing of the Corinth Canal, our tour had to be modified. I felt that the captain did the best he could to see that we had a great trip. Lena, the cruise Director was sometimes over the top, making sure all of our needs were met. Alex, our bike guide also did a great job.
I would highly recommend this bike tour.

I can’t stop thinking about this trip — it was just incredible! The crew was amazing, always ready to help and make everything easy and fun. The boat felt cozy, cabins super comfy, and everything was spotless.
We biked every day — anywhere from 20 to 60 km — and the scenery blew me away. Endless olive groves, sparkling blue sea, quiet roads, and secret beaches you couldn’t reach without a bike. Morning yoga on deck was such a nice way to wake up and stretch before hitting the pedals.
And the food… wow! Every meal was different, with plenty of choices between fish and meat, plus fresh fruits, berries, and local treats. I’ll never forget the lamb and langoustines. October was perfect — great weather, beautiful nature, and peaceful towns with almost no tourists. I’d go back in a heartbeat and try more routes! This tour is perfect if you love cycling, exploring, and just enjoying life by the sea.

Sailing and cycling the Greek islands was really incredible - I didn’t want to leave! I was really impressed with Running On Waves. The crew was amazing and I loved that the meals were served buffet style. The food was great and always a variety of selection. Definitely take some extra time in Athens if you can, it is a great city to explore.
