Excellent road bike hire from Lucy and Simon. I rented a Giant Contend road bike with disc brakes for 7 days. Excellent communication from Lucy and Simon delivered the bike to my villa at the agreed time the night before my rental started so I was able to get out first thing the next morning. The bike was really well set up and came with everything needed. Cycling on Lefkada is great... wow, the scenery is just amazing and hiring a bike on holiday is a great way to maintain some fitness! This was the best bike I’ve hired on a Greek island so would highly recommend using Get Active.

We had a great early evening family bike ride with Simon. Our kids are 12, 15 and 17 and all enjoyed the trip and the pace was suitable for them. The equipment was in really good order and the communications beforehand were super quick and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Great experience, great people
5/5
I highly recommend both Lefkada as a destination for cycling and Get Active as a great bike hire service. Hired giant tcr carbon bike for 10 days at really reasonable rate, set up really well and well functioning. Communication really good and process simple, delivery and collection on time at hotel and taking just a few minutes each end. Cycling fantastic! Some really challenging and long climbs up through the interior, with stunning views on top. Also c80k loop round the island coast with great views of sea and islands. For the latter the main road wasn’t at all an ordeal, wide roads left me feeling safe in busier sections, but for the most part relatively quiet, and inland virtually traffic free. Road surfaces a bit patchy in places but nothing to worry about, just need to be a bit wary on descents and not let it go too much. So overall just a really great time. Thanks Simon and Lucy I’m jealous you call lefkada home!

Excellent cycling experience!

I rented a road bike for 2 weeks for our 1st trip to Lefkas... Simon gave me some useful tips and recommendations on good local routes to ride - and I knew they would always be on hand if I needed them. In the end, I had no issues with the bike for the whole of my stay. Excellent service. Top quality bikes. Highly, highly recommended

"Great MTB"
5/5
Amazing experience riding the "Intermediate ride" with the MTB master and charismatic Simon on a warm Friday morning... Simon and Lucy take really good care of the equipment. I chose a hard-tail with SPDs and brought my own shoes. The bike had tubeless tires and a dropper post. Overall, I highly recommend Get Active Lefkas. Lucy and Simon run a superb business. Everything went smoothly, from booking my ride with Lucy to starting the ride on-time and returning safely back to base from the mountains. I'm definitely looking forward to another ride in the near future.

About

About Us!

Get Active is a small family-run business based close to the resort of Nidri on the east coast of the Greek island of Lekfada. This activity venture was founded by Simon & Lucy Atkinson in 2012, who have lived on the island since 2005. They chose Lefkas as the place to call home and raise their children.  They love to be outdoors biking and hiking and to share this with visitors to the island. So whilst here – choose one of Trip Advisors top things to do in Lefkas and Get Active! 

Activities in Lefkas!

Mountain biking is at the core of Get Active. Lefkada has a multitude of cross country trails and back roads reaching from seaside resorts to mountain villages and high peaks. Sweeping descents through olive groves and steep gorges and exhilarating off road tracks and technical single trails are on offer for mountain bikers. Our guided rides pass mountain and coastal villages, historic churches and monasteries and follow the centuries-old footpaths and donkey trails through the mountains. All this creates exhilarating and technical singletrack mountain biking. The riding in Lefkada is natural all mountain (AM) trail riding and cross country (XC) with routes suitable for beginners to advanced.

We also offer both mountain and road bike rental. Simon is our friendly qualified bike guide and enthusiastic rider and Lucy is responsible for all admin and marketing.

From the Ionian islands to the Dodecanese… if you’re travelling to to Rhodes for your escape check out Get Active Rhodes.  Dave offers mountain and road bike rental and guiding for all travellers to this ancient forest covered island.

About The Island

Lefkas (or Lefkada) is one of the seven Ionian Islands in the west of Greece. It is undeniably renowned for its mountainous landscape, beautiful beaches and lush green vegetation. Over 70% of the island is mountainous providing a playground of tracks and trails for keen mountain bikers. The island is largely unknown and therefore has been able to keep its charm and traditions, so landscapes are rugged and tracks untouched. All this plus some of the best beaches in Greece coupled with famous kite-surfing and wind-surfing spots; the island attracts visitors from all over the world.

Lefkas is connected to the mainland by a small bridge so is easily accessible all year round. There are flights from all over Europe to the local airport of Preveza from May to October. The airports of Athens and Thessaloniki have scheduled flights all year round and are a 4 and 5 hour drive away. Chartered flights into the airports of Patras and Corfu from March to November offer a further option. Transfers can be arranged from all these airports any time of the year.

Tranquil bays, stunning beaches, cool olives groves and mountain villages to discover. Lefkas is a perfect destination to do as much or as little as you’d like!
