Our goal is simple: to offer you an exceptional riding experience that we ourselves would expect as seasoned bikers.

We live for the thrill of the open road, the joy of discovery, and the beauty of the journey. Our youthful energy pulls us towards the sea, the mountains, and every adventure in between. With Obia, fun isn’t just a part of the trip; it’s the destination.

Ride in style with our premium motorcycles, explore Corfu’s stunning landscapes, or join one of our exciting guided tours. At Obia, we’re here to make every moment of your journey extraordinary.
