THE FARM BIKE TOUR

The Farm Bike Tour immerses you into the authentic farmland of Kefalonia on an E-Bike (Fatbike). 

 

The highlights of this tour are visiting a Farmer's Market and a traditional olive oil mill. Accompanied by one of our tour guides we first cycle to the Farmer's Market, located close to De Bosset bridge (the largest overseas stone bridge in the world).

​

Arriving at our first stop, the local Farmer’s Market, we will get an important overview of Kefalonia’s fresh produce. After a warm welcome, we drink fresh mountain tea (Tsai tou vounou) or Soumada, a traditional almond drink that can be consumed both cold and warm. Afterwards we will visit the next market stall where we taste watermelon (karpouzi), Greece's summer bowl. Full of pride, the farmers will let us taste their homemade regional products, fresh from the land, like artisanal jam and pure honey from the bees. 

​

We continue the tour cycling south via the main road uphill (about 45 minutes of cycling). After we arrive at our second stop of the day at the Olive Oil Farm in Metaxata, we will get to know one of Greece's most famous creations: olive oil.

 

After showing you around the olive oil farm, there will be a presentation by an expert about different olive oil varieties available in Kefalonia. We also get the chance to taste various types of olive oil in combination with a Greek salad and other delicious food. All senses will be stimulated during this unique gastronomic tour. You will be amazed! 

 

Time to cycle back to Argostoli through the hills, mostly downhill. Enjoy the sea view to the west and the view of the Koutavos lagoon to the east. Both are spectacular.
