Enjoyed this so much!! The e-bikes made it easy. Not 100% sure I'd have managed with a normal bike. Lots of stops. The cooking part was my favorite. We had been to Demeter's temple before but getting there through the countryside made it much more magical. Definitely one of the BEST experiences I have ever had and I mean all excursions I have been on! 1000% recommend it!
