Bike and Quad Travel in The Cyclades

All the major islands have car- and bike-rental agencies at the ports and in the business districts.

Motorbikes and scooters start at about EUR 10 a day, including third-party liability coverage.

Don't wear shorts or sandals, insist on the helmet (which the law requires), and get a phone number, in case of breakdown.

Quads feel safer, but overturn easily; Greek call them gourounia (piggies).
