Women Cyclists.
Surveys shown that women cyclists are more concerned about safety than men; dangerous roads, speeding cars, and inconsiderate motorists being the main issues. Additionally, women are not so concerned about conquering the Classic climbs and checking the 'stats'. The exhilaration, challenge, and views are motivation enough. If this is true for you then Kefalonia is the perfect place.
Surveys also show that some women can find cycling with men too competitive. Or perhaps you just want a trip with the girls? If so, we are happy to accommodate a ladies-only group if you can get the numbers.

There are also marked walking routes, and sea kayaking, diving and boat trips to other islands are also available. There are also walking routes in other parts of the island and many other attractions . Kefalonia is not just a cycling paradise.
