We will meet and greet you in our head offices where you will get acquainted with your BMW rental motorbike.

Arcadia lies at the center of the Peloponnese peninsula and its varied landscape, large mountains (Mainalo and Parnonas) and Argolis Bay make it an ideal year-round destination. It presents landscapes of incomparable beauty, areas of exciting archaeological interest, and historic locations. Its first inhabitants were the Arcadians, one of the oldest and most prominent tribes of the Peloponnese.

Spread out along the wooded slopes with their stone, tile-roofed homes, and churches are Stemnitsa, Dimitsana, and Karytaina. Each village has its own long history, natural beauty, and an array of attractions.

Dimitsana

In Dimitsana you’ll visit the Library, and the open-air Water-Power Museum, and be impressed by this unique village, which is amphitheatrically built.

In western Peloponnese, in the prefecture of Ilia, lies the “Valley of Gods”. One of the most prolific and celebrated sanctuaries of Ancient Greece. Ancient Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games. After riding your motorcycle in a terrain full of twisty turns you will arrive in Olympia. You will become part of history by strolling through the ruins, run in the stadium as the ancient Olympians did thousands of years ago.

You will conclude this memorable motorcycle tour by visiting the church of Agia Fotini, a unique structure built with 8 different styles of architecture as well as the splendid Kapsia Cave system.
