For families and groups seeking an active adventure

Families and groups travelling together for activity-based vacations are on the increase. If you or your family are keen cyclists, why not swap the SUV for a private jet adventure? Fly to Greece and a stay at the newly re-opened and much anticipated Astir Palace, the new Four Seasons by the sea in Athens - with its own private beach only 20 minutes from the city center.

Who said you have to go straight there? Why not make a journey of getting there and stop off for a special moment somewhere to truly enjoy the benefits of flying privately with us? The Modern Concierge recommends stopping in Bordeaux for lunch en-route to a few days away in a luxury bolthole in Tuscany.

All our cycling day routes involve lunch and transfer back to the hotel by fast boat. Of course, longer rides can be devised for the true enthusiasts and athletes. Using boat transfers means we can also include deserted island cycle routes in your itinerary. You can choose to cycle every day or simply have a one day cycling experience while enjoying a few days by the beach in Athens. The Modern Concierge knows Athens well and can organize the best private guides to experience the Ancient Greek monuments and museums; plus of course organize wonderful dinners and experiences.

 There are many other countries around the Mediterranean that make perfect places for a family or group cycling activity holiday but as it has just opened, and because of the wonderfully scenic routes available close to Athens and on the nearby islands, The Modern Concierge recommends the Four Seasons Astir Palace for our #SummerRedefined selection.
