What a great bike shop and tour company! The owner/operator and staff are friendly, helpful and fun! We did the Grand Mountain Tour and it was fantastic! They carried our small group up the highest mountain on Corfu Island in a comfortable van, after setting everyone up with an appropriate bicycle. We spent a few hours descending on a unique combination of easily navigable road surfaces, through olive groves, stops for photos, and had lunch at a beautiful ancient town. While we were on the tour, the professional bike mechanic did maintenance work on our personal road bicycles! They have a large fleet of well maintained bicycles: road, off road and e-bikes. Highly recommend including a bike tour or rental with S-Bikes when you are on Corfu Island! Many thanks to Stamatis and his crew!

If you are keen to cycle on Corfu then I would highly recommend S-Bikes. I hired a road bike for 3 days. The service was excellent. Stamatis was very helpful and a lovely guy. We exchanged a few emails in advance to sort out my requirements. He also sent me the app/maps that provide some route suggestions.
The bike itself was delivered by Stamatis to my hotel. It was in great condition. The gears and brakes were set up perfectly, probably with new cables by the look of it. The tyres were also good, which is important as not all the roads are perfect on Corfu!
Delivery and pick up for me was in the evening. Perfect for an early start. Even in July the temperature was not too hot if you get out early. There are loads of great routes to do but you do need to be pretty fit as there are hills everywhere. I was surprised that the bike had a mid compact chainset rather than a compact. So I was lacking some low gears. But most of the hills are fairly gentle hairpins so I soon got used to it.
I would definitely recommend the coastal route in the NW of the island. The climb to the top of Pantokrator is probably only for serious cyclists, but worth it for the views.
They also offer MTB hire and organised tours/rides.

I rented a road bike - a Cube Agree C62 Pro-Carbon - from S Cycles in Achavari for my fortnight’s holiday in North Corfu in August 2021.
The whole process was extremely professional. I did the booking by email. Stamatis dropped the bike off personally at my villa on the evening I arrived and picked it back up the evening before I left. The bike arrived in great condition and came with the right pedals, a Garmin holder and water bottle cages. There was also a multi tool and two spare inner tubes. I was offered a helmet and water bottles but had brought these with me, and a lock which I declined as I wouldn’t need. They also gave me some really useful laminated maps showing the routes I could take.
I worked the bike quite hard during my holiday, cycling over 500 miles (800km) during the fortnight (in the very early mornings before it got too hot) and climbing nearly 38,000 feet (11,500 metres). Some of the roads, particularly on the slopes of Pantokrator, are not in great condition and are rather potholed. The bike coped brilliantly. It was light and rigid on the climbs and handled the bumpy descents with no problems. I did not have a single mechanical issue with it, nor a puncture.
I would wholeheartedly recommend S Cycles and Stamatis to anyone wanting to rent a bike in North Corfu. Obviously, mine was a road bike, but it was clear that everything is handled professionally and carefully so would be sure that the other bikes are of a similar standard. They even recognised me and waved when I cycled past their shop. Thank you. You really helped to make it a great holiday.

From 1 to 5 Stamatis and his team deserve a 10 they really know how to make customers feel appreciated, from the moment we got into the shop we felt like talking to friends. We took the The Grand Mountain Bike Tour, Stamatis took the time to learn about our experience on this type of activities and then he found the right group for us to join. During the ride, our gide all the time was checking how we were, what we felt, giving clear instructions about how to deal with the next part of the path, making breaks when the team need them. The bikes were perfect adjusted for each person. It is worth every cent and the end of the tour you'll take with you great memories.

Another great experience with Stamatis and S Bikes. S Bikes road bike rental is a must on our Corfu holidays as service is excellent and cycling is great in Corfu (get off the main road and up in hills and have a coffee in some of the villages). Bikes again were great (Specialised Allez and Cube Attain) with tools, tubes etc supplied. Brought own helmet and bottles but Stamatis and team will provide if needed as always. Bikes delivered and collected from the Villa as always making it a hassle free experience. We’ve got to know routes over the years built with route info provided by S Bikes and they’ll arm you with great routes to follow.
Was good to see the new improved shop also and worth a look.
Can’t recommend enough if you road bike and want to explore Corfu. Some of the views are amazing (get to top it’s tough but rewarding) and such a good way to find restaurants, beaches etc off the beaten track. My favourite are the s bends at Spartilas riding up from main road (past Barbati) and up to Episkepsi and then down into Acharavi (or up hot Pankakrator if legs feel good and have time) .
Highly recommend

We had an excellent experience renting S-bikes from S-bike Cycle Corfu.
We were coming in on a cruise for one day and they accommodated our schedule.
George, our excellent guide, met us at the port, took us to the bikes and rode with us all day, returning us to the boat in the early evening. We saw the Old City, went to a secluded local beach, stopped for snacks and dinner, saw neighborhoods and ruins.
George was friendly, patient and spoke English well. It was a great experience!!
Thanks so much George for being so accommodating!!

Our family of four (two boys aged 8 and 5) did the Blue Lagoon Bike Tour around Lake Antinioti.
Stamatis and his team were helpful from start to finish, both online in advance and in person.
My wife and I had full hardtail mountain bikes, with our 5 year old behind me on a Ride-on/Tag-along attached to my bike so he could pedal and feel involved, and our 8 year old on a hard tail as well.
It's a lovely cycle, with quite varied terrain types which our 8 year old really enjoyed, and lots to look at. It's all quite off the beaten track so our guide was invaluable, pointing our lots of different areas of interest, and you get to see parts of the island I just don't think you would find on your own.
Some of the terrain is a little bit steep and our 8 year old struggled slightly, but this was more due to him never having ridden MTB trails below or understanding how gears worked! Nothing him getting off to push for 30 seconds couldn't handle, and it meant he got to do some great downhills. Highly recommended trip.

What a great guy! We never went to the shop because the bikes were delivered to our villa exactly as promised, and picked up similarly. In between, we saw Stamatis when we managed to get a double puncture (using up the spare) almost at the summit of Pantokrator. He turned up, in 20 minutes, with new inner tubes and had us on our way again with a big smile. Amazing.
The bikes are good - not the newest sleekest equipment, but exactly what we needed at a very fair price. This is definitely the place to rent.
Corfu is great for biking and we struggled to get a clear answer about whether to rent mountain or road bikes (we like both). IMO, only get a road bike if you are sure you want to stick to long rides AND you are sure that your house is on a paved road. We did probably 75% road, 25% trail but would not want to have missed the trail. Plus our house had almost 1km of poorly graded track to get to the driveway - which would have been terrible for a road bike. Mountain bikes go on roads, but not the other way around....

Stamatis was helpful from my initial enquiry to collecting the bike. The Cube e-bike was excellent, well maintained and had no issues. All the ancillary equipment was spot on and the maps came in handy. I biked from Liapedes around the island which has been one of the best experience of my life. The scenery on Corfu is truly amazing. I would recommend Stamatis to supply you’re bike and any equipment needed. If you’re touring try the e-bike it’s brilliant!

What an amazing experience! We signed up for the Corfu Town E-bike tour. I set up the bike ride with Stamatis. He was so easy to communicate with and answered emails promptly. I emailed him so many times with questions and he was extremely patient and never made me feel like I was bothering him. We had a group of 12. Panos and George were our guides and they were fantastic. They were kind, patient, knowledgeable and made sure that we were safe while riding. The bikes and helmets were in great condition and were set up for each individual based on height. We were also treated to an amazing lunch at a local restaurant and were each given water bottles for the tour. These was a highlight for our trip. So glad we did it. Cannot recommend this company enough. If I could give them 10 stars I would.

I am struggling to make contact with this company, I have sent two messages through their email system over the last two weeks, I am still waiting for an answer. We are in Corfu in 7weeks and I do not want to leave it too late to hire the bikes.
