Here you can rent high quality bikes that can be dropped of at your holiday accomodation (at a small fee) the evening before the rental period start. By that you don't lose time driving into town to pick-up the bikes. As the road-bike that I originally booked was damaged one day before the start of my rental period I was offered 2 alternative bikes at a discount to compensate for the fact that it was not my first choice. Both bikes were brougth to my accomodation so I could fit and make the correct choice. The Specialized Roubaix that I used for 3 days was well maintained and included the correct pedal set up and some extra tubes, a pump and toolkit. When cycling by the shop I was offered a free coca cola at the nearby terrace as it was supposed to be 'petrol for the cyclist'.

Today, my husband and I spent 4 hours on bicycle tour. It was 44 km through the countryside and lovely villages. After 25 km we turned back and continued by the sea. Our guide was young and nice man and he answered all our questions. We were just a small group which consists of three members and guide, so it was really private. I'm happy that we could spend the day with the cycling activity and saw the wonderful countryside full of olive trees and vineyards. We can recommend it to everyone who are in good condition and time to time run or cycling. But we had a lot of time to rest, drink or refresh ourselves. Tempo of riding was very calm, so we can enjoy our feelings and watch everything what we met. It has been our best experience in Zakynthos.

Fantastic road bike rental and support. I organised to hire a bike through Natasha (who speaks excellent English) and Denis was able to deliver it and collect it from our villa (almost an hour from their shop).
Bike was a brand new Roubaix and was in mint condition and lovingly prepared. Nothing was too much trouble and the bike came with the pedals I needed as well as all the self-repair kit.
On top of this, Natasha sent me various routes to try out.
The island is fantastic for cycling. Lots of alpine style climbs, quiet roads, totally remarkable views and mainly decent quality roads.
Podilatadiko was truly excellent and I would recommend them to anyone thinking of any biking in Zakynthos.

We hired a couple of trekking bikes. The bikes were quite basic, but all set up great and they weren't at all expensive. Including free delivery and collection to/from the hotel.
We enjoyed it so much we wanted to hire them again the next week, gave them a call and the bikes were at the hotel 3 hours later!
Would highly recommend.

A couple of weeks ago my wife and I travelled independently to Zakynthos using a mixture of bicycle, train and ferry from mainland europe (Switzerland).
At the end of our tour we needed to fly back to Switzerland; that left us with a problem: no boxes to pack our bikes into ready for the return flight !
In stepped Dennis the boss of the Zakynthos Cycling Center, who not only provided us with two spare cardboard bike boxes (even though we had done no business with him), but who also gave us a lift in his transport to the airport ! All at a time when his shop was pretty busy with their normal business operations.
We dismantled our bikes outside his shop and we could tell he runs a very good operation: he has a mechanical workshop at the back of the shop where his bike mechanics let us wash our hands.
Dennis was so generous, friendly, kind and enthusiastic about cycling and we would definitely recommend his business.

Second year of using these guys again they didn’t disappoint! Communication before we arrived in Zante was responded to quickly and helpful. Denis dropped the bike off the night before the start of my hire period so I could get out first thing the next day. I hired the Specialized Tarmac SL6 Disc sports road bike, the bike was in excellent condition and well maintained. I had a choice of helmets to try and there was also a small tool kit, inner tubes and bike pump dropped off with it. I popped in to the cycle centre while out on a couple of rides and Denis was happy to stop and chat, he even bought coffees and orange juice to refuel me before setting off again! Absolutely brilliant service and will definitely use them again when I visit Zante!

My friend and I booked cycle hire and the Tour of Zante via email. Natasha was extremely helpful and quick to respond to any questions during the booking process. Our bikes were well maintained and rode well during our ride (Specialized Tarmac SL4 or 5, entry level). Dennis at the hire shop was only too keen to help us and we rode with one other rider from Denmark. The highlight of the day was being led by ex-pat Colin whose knowledge of Zante was brilliant and he led us on a fantastic ride around the island. The ride ended up being 90km and was taken at the pace we wanted to go at. We threw in a couple of cafe stops for frappes, meaning we arrived back in Zante at 3:30/4 after departing at 10:00ish. Great views, information and the best way to see the island. Highly recommend!

I rented a Specialized Allez road bike for 13 days. The bike was in excellent condition, delivered to my hotel with stationary air-pump, example routes and repair kit (little pump, two tubes, tire levers and gloves). Zakynthos is a really beautiful island full of great roads (especially through the mountains) and spectacular views. During this time I travelled for around 516km and ascended 8042m. The bike was working perfectly through this whole period. I highly recommend this company!

Hi have hired many bikes from Denis, mostly road bikes. Extremely professional, always well tuned bikes and fantastic service. Natasha is always very very helpful in arranging the drop offs and pickups and very accommodating. The communication is done via email and is very simple and the website is very informative. The latest ones I hired were a couple of Specialized SL4s and both came well tuned, cleaned and with all the extras needed (pump, tubes, etc.). Highly recommended!

Excellent customer service. Natasha was in contact with me prior to my trip, she advised me on the type of bike that would suit my needs. Bikes dropped off by Dennis who gave me some good advice on time of day to ride and where to go. Early morning is a must as from 10am it's too hot. Bikes were in excellent condition, helmets, lock and repair kit were provided. Hire a bike to see the hidden areas of Zakynthos, it's been the highlight of my holiday.

Dear Mr Legg,
First of all i have to say that you are going to love cycling in Zakynthos. The change of scenery and the beauties of the island are just amazing. Moreover you will have a complete picture of the island which is essential when you visit another part of the word. Keep in mind that the route is made in order to avoid as much traffic as possible and follow the most quiet roads of the island. Also you can expect good quality tarmac especially on the north and the west side of the island.
According to the fitness level and the needs of our customer we can cover 60-100 Km and the total elevation will be around 1000 meters. In that case the bikes we have available for you are the Specialized Tarmac & Roubaix or the Specialized Allez.
The duration will be about 4 hours including stops and we can schedule the tour any day from Monday until Saturday.
For more information you can contact us through email in our web page.
Kind regards
Denis
