I rented a road bike for four days and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Riding the roads of Lefkada by bike is a completely different way to discover the island with beautiful scenery and the amazing nature.
The rental process was very easy. Lucy was super friendly and flexible. The bike was in great condition. It was also perfectly equipped for the roads on Lefkada.
I had tons of fun and definitely recommend it!

Excellent road bike hire from Lucy and Simon... 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.

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

Best experience ever! Simon was an amazing host on the bike ride. Was extremely accommodating when some of the group found it tough and they were able to switch to an Ebike. Highly recommend!

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.

One of the highlights of my holiday to Lefkas! I can definitely recommend Get Active if you value quality bikes and the insider knowledge of the best trails on the island.

Discovered the island of Lefkada on this monster of a bike. Fantastic bike, pulls you right into the mountains, and to places you can't reach by car. Super service from Lucy and Simon! Highly recommended!
We rode to the highest village and the White Church (1015m). Not bad for 2 guys in our 70s! This is a great way to explore the island especially if your age or fitness level precludes using standard bikes. Thanks Simon & Lucy for a great experience.
The communication was superb and fast—we felt that they did their absolute best to satisfy the customers' wishes. The bikes were in excellent condition and were simply amazing.
We rented two e-bikes May 2026... It made our holiday.

Get to know Get Active
Get Active is a small, family-run business based near the beautiful resort of Nidri, on the east coast of Lefkada.
Founded by Simon and Lucy Atkinson in 2012, Get Active grew from their love of the island and their passion for exploring the great outdoors. Having lived on Lefkada since 2005, they chose the island as the place to build their home and raise their family.
Cycling, hiking and discovering new places have always been a big part of their lives, and Get Active is their way of sharing that passion with visitors. Whether you’re looking to explore quiet country roads, discover mountain trails or simply experience a different side of Lefkada, they’ll help you get out there and enjoy it.
So while you’re on the island, why not get off the beaten track, see Lefkada from a different perspective and Get Active!
From the Ionian islands to the Dodecanese… if you’re travelling 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.
Our family friendly beginner mountain bike rides are available to book from May to September. These gentle leisure rides go through quiet olive groves, mountain villages and to the well-known Dimosari gorge and waterfalls. On our guided rides we provide a Nukeproof Scout hardtail mountain bike and helmet.
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!
