Discover the iconic Homer's Tomb on this fun eBike tour through Ios in the Cyclades, and taste some traditional Ionian goat's cheese!
This tour takes a maximum of 2 people on a route that will show you both the historical and the legendary spots of Ios. With such a small group, your guide will personalise the tour based on your preferences and your abilities, making this the perfect tour for those travellers who are looking for a local to help perfect the itinerary of their adventure in the Cyclades.
The main landmark of this bike ride through Ios is the exceptional Homer's Tomb. You will make stops at the landmarks, where your guide will provide you with insights regarding the history of Ios and the Cyclades, which go back to the Bronze Age. You'll also learn some mythology about the island, and how it became so linked to Homer, the mysterious and legendary author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, two of the oldest books in the world.
If you so desire, a final stop can be made at the Diaseli Cheesery before you return to Chora. This traditional cheesery also acts as a museum, in which you can learn about the ancient art of cheese-making on Ios. For a fee, it also serves cheese tastings which you can indulge in, should you be interested in sampling some of Ios' prided goat's cheeses. After this optional pitstop, you will then head back to Chora to end the tour.
Ebiking is a great way to visit the Cyclades. They allow you to reach parts of the islands that are otherwise inaccessible or too far on foot, all while enjoying the great outdoors and taking in great views along the way.
