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....

Had a great experience with Stamatis and the team at S Bikes. I was keen to check out the hills and sights of Corfu whilst on a family holiday and came across S Bikes as really the only option offering quality road bike rental in Corfu. After an initial mix up with the booking date, Stamatis and team delivered in spades. I sent through my bike fit stats, so the bike was good to go straight away. Lovely guys to deal with, very knowledgeable on possible routes and eager to help. I hired a Cube Agree C62 Pro, which actually turned out to be a great bike for the terrain. Gearing was great on some of the inclines and it handled the bumps and road conditions well.
The cycling was excellent (challenging ascent to Pantokarotor summit, and beautiful scenery around Palaiokastritsa!), with quiet roads in the hills. Would highly recommend, but you need an early start in August to avoid the midday heat, with 2 bottles a must.

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.

I am a keen cyclist and part of my holiday enjoyment is getting to know a destination with a daily ride. We booked a family holiday to Corfu at short notice, because our booking to Lanzarote had been cancelled due to COVID. I was devastated because I had already planned bike hire and set out my routes for Lanzarote and I thought there either wouldn’t be anywhere I could hire from in Corfu, or probably not at short notice. I found S Bikes online who had a good selection of bikes and I exchanged a few emails with Stamatis who was prompt and helpful in responding. I reserved a bike with him, made even easier by him providing delivery and collection to the villa we were staying at. Stamatis delivered the bike on time and stayed for a chat, offering some useful tips on routes. He also put in place a good arrangement for collection of the bike so we didn’t have to stay in on the last day of our holiday. Corfu is an excellent place to cycle and S Bikes is an excellent place to hire from. Would definitely recommend

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.

Wonderful cycling experience. We went on the ancient mountain tour. Pre booking was simple, the whole experience amazing and we had our own personal tour guide George who was so lovely, knowledgeable and a pleasure to be with on the decent. Would fully recommend S-Bikes.
Top quality bikes to pick from too. We had a Cube front suspension that was tuned to perfection.

I rented an excellent Cube road bike for a few days during a family holiday. The communication from Stamatis arranging delivery and collection from my hotel was spot on and it was nice to have a friendly chat and get some route recommendations from George when he delivered and set up the bike. There's a lovely mixture of cycling roads in Corfu including lots of quiet lanes and some terrific climbs. It was great to get out into the countryside on the bike and see it all. Thank you to S-Bikes for the rental!

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

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.
