    Which is the hotel the group is meeting in Matera and also if I can rent electric bikes?

    Accommodation
    Tour Details
    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperator•Written June 2026

      The group meets in Matera at Hotel Il Belvedere (or similar) — a lovely property right in the historic area, which makes that first evening particularly memorable.

      E-bikes are absolutely available and can be added for USD $140, which many travellers find gives them that extra flexibility and comfort, especially on longer riding days.

      What is the availability for 5 people 2 on e bikes? What is the average distance and climb?

    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperator•Written May 2026

      At the moment, our 20 September departure has only 3 spaces remaining, so availability is quite limited. Alternatively, the 27 September departure currently has 8 spaces available, which may offer a bit more flexibility.
