Itinerary description
This is a 35 km ride that will take you all day. There are designed stops on all five villages you will visit, for coffee/breakfast, sightseeing, swimming (in summer), ouzo break or lunch, afternoon entertainment, afternoon excursion, and a relatively easy (for seasoned bikers) return.
Caring your camera on this ride is a must, and feel free to deviate if you feel like it.
This is a ride one can do all year round and as many times you want. The environment and the systasis of the crowds change so much over the year that there is always something new to see and photograph.
All the stops we recommend are open all year round as well.
Start and finish this one from the first curve at the south end of the village.
Fill up water on Platamonas before you leave for Palaioi Poroi and at Palaioi Poroi once more.
It is safe to do it alone but we would highly recommend that you do it as a group.
If you are a family with very young kids think twice before attempting it.
Don’t forget to publish your photos and to let us know if we need to improve on any of our recommendations.
Enjoy
