Itinerary description
Route to Paleo Souli in Panachaiko mountain range.
0,0km/08:20 - AgVassileios. Route starts by the sea to south-west, next to Rio ferry docks, Mpozaitika to the center. Later continues with Germanos str to Carrefour in Glafkos neighborhood. Route is fairly flat until passing under the ring road of Patras, where steeper ascent starts.
19,0km/09:20 - Ring road. Route goes through steep narrow and curvy roads between the houses in direction to Glafkos dam. This part has some very steep ascents where sometimes I had to get off the bike.
23,8km/09:50 - Glafkos valley. Nice view point to the valley of Glafkos river, Patra and the gulf with mountains in background.
27,2km/10:10 - Paleo Souli. A stop and rest in the shadow next to the church (100m after nice taverna Panachaiko). End point of the route. After 15min rest, return done with the same road until Glafkos houses.
35,4km/10:50 - The return route alters in this place to turn right.
42,7km/11:15 - Dasylio. A short uphill section to reach cafe Dasylio with nice view to Patras.
48,0km/11:30 - Mpozaitika. Back to the same route and come back to AgVassileios by the sea.
55,0km/12:00 - AgVassileios.
Level moderate for distance and some steeper ascents close to Glafkos. No technical difficulties. I have done it with trekking bike, but also possible with road bike as all the route is on asphaltus. Very nice views to Glafkos valley and panorama of Patras.
NOTE: water spring available in Paleo Souli.
