'Everything in 1 Site :-)'

Strengths:
Early season so quiet but warm.
Excellent bike guides who knew the area and their stuff.

Weaknesses:
They had just suffered a serious storm so they had piles of boat and windsurf bits! This meant more cyclists than normal!

Overall:
New Year, new location for us.
No kids for me this year, so it's all new.
Good clean hotel with restaurant. Small town with local restauarants, largely untouched by tourism.
Great routes, some road for the longer routes.
Some instruction on bike performance and maintenance for those that wanted it.
Nice to be able to choose whether to partake of all the activities or just chill (not many did!). Needed a rest when I got home, which is a sign of a good holiday for me.

'EXCELLENT KIT, SMALL GUIDED ROUTES, BEAUTIFUL SCENERY'

Strengths:
Excellent MTBs
Small groups - 10 per ride
Good, enthusiastic bike guides. They were great with absolute begineers as well as finding challenges for the regular mountain bikers. They also spent time before each ride making sure we all had bikes we liked and they were all adjusted properly.
Amazing scenery, completely rural and peaceful. The cycling is often through olive groves.
Also dinghy sailing and windsurfing on site.
The bike guides also did a maintenance session one afternoon which was very useful.

Weaknesses:
Hotel is basic
Don't go mid-summer if you want to do the bike rides - they will be just too hot! We went in September which was perfect.
The village is very quiet and very Greek which we loved but if you're after night life then this is not the place.

Overall:
Brilliant.
I have put a 5 for value here because of the level of kit that is available and quality & ratio of staff.
