Had a lot of knee pain, I thought from running. Claimed it must be desk position related and got my employer to pay to have it looked at.
Had loads of people look at my knees and their consensus was that they were over used and that knees have little blood flow so take ages to recover. Then they referred me to an orthotics specialist who spotted my over pronation and made me some custom footbeds.
Knee pain stopped pretty much straight away. It was the position of my foot in relation to my knee causing the stress on the joint. Not the running/cycling

It could be that.

Also squats on an incline 20° toes pointing down. Helped a little before the foot beds arrived

That's a decent shout longer term. I wear shoe soles down at a weird angle, always have done. But im so can't go down that route at present.

@greeno I've just picked up a foam roller. Use it a lot at home but naturally hadn't packed one for going away....until now..

Not a long term solution but diclofenac gel has kept me on the bike in similar situations, Voltaren Emulgel brand can be bought in most of Europe I think.
