Families and groups travelling together for activity-based holidays are on the increase. If you or your family are keen cyclists, why not swap the SUV for a cycling adventure by 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 centre.

Be met by our expert local cycling partners at the bottom of your aircraft steps with your pre-arranged bikes and set off on the 25km ride out to your hotel. The Modern Concierge works with only the best cycling experts to create these unique itineraries covering all levels of skill and interest to create the ultimate the family cycling experience.
An example day…Meet the Guides in the hotel grounds and get ready for a 50km cycle around the coastline, finishing at the ancient landmark of the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounio on the dramatic Attica peninsula south of Athens.
Your group is followed by the Support Vehicle which provides road safety but also enables anyone to take time-out without falling behind the group.
A very well-earned lunch is taken by the sea in a private gazebo of the Cape Sounio luxury hotel. Have a swim after lunch and then when you are ready it’s a 45 minute transfer by fast boat back to the hotel marina.
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.
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 organise the best private guides to experience the Ancient Greek monuments and museums; plus of course organise wonderful dinners and experiences.
