The roads are mostly paved and low traffic, except during peak season. Decide each day whether to ride individually, using the maps provided, follow one of the guides or stay on the boat to relax and sunbathe.
The itinerary and schedule of some days vary depending on the comfort you choose.

Bella vacanza effettuata sulla Melody, le guide erano molto preparate e gentili, la stragrande maggioranza dei partecipanti era tedesca. Il tempo è ben bilanciato tra relax e movimento, e i posti visitati molto belli. Qualche salita è impegnativa quindi se si usa la bici normale bisogna essere allenati, altrimenti meglio quella elettrica.

The trip was fantastic. Our whole group thoroughly enjoyed it. The boat, crew and food were excellent. The guides were excellent as well and the routes they chose for us were perfect.… more

Their local knowledge and little extras certainly added to the trip. The bikes were in good repair and worked well. An excellent trip in all respects. Thanks
