Ios History & Myth E-Bike Tour: Discover Homer’s legacy

About this activity

This route is a must for history lovers and fans of Greek mythology.

We begin by cycling to the prehistoric settlement of Skarkos, an important archaeological site that reveals life in the Cyclades over 4,000 years ago.

After exploring the area and walking a short traditional path, we continue through scenic farmland toward the Tomb of Homer, perched in a quiet, panoramic location in northern Ios. According to tradition, this is where the legendary poet found his final resting place.

As we ride along country roads, surrounded by olive trees and fig groves, your guide will bring history to life with personal stories and local legends passed down through generations.

This tour offers a moving blend of ancient past and myth, all set within the serene natural beauty of the Ios landscape.

A ride for the mind and the senses.
