1. Introduction
Dear Reader,
A few words on what this book won’t be.
Moving from the U.S. to Greece in 1998, my husband’s birthplace, we started working for a company doing cycling and walking tours of the Greek islands and mainland. Since then we have led many of our own tours both on and off the bike.

So for the sake of being clear I will call them ‘trippers’.
