A CLASSIC GREEK WEEK
Six unforgettable rides from the centre of ancient Greece. Make Epidavros your home and find a different ride in every direction.
A WEEK OF AMAZING RIDING FROM YOUR HOME IN THE CENTRE OF ANCIENT GREECE
You wake to the sound of the village, pull on your kit and set off in a different direction each morning. One day you’re following the sea; the next, climbing through pine forests, crossing to an island or riding towards somewhere ancient.
By afternoon, you’re back in Epidavros - with time for a swim, a drink beside the harbour and dinner around a taverna table.
No packing. No changing hotels. Just a week of memorable riding in a Greek fishing village that feels like home.
EVERY TYPE OF RIDE, ALL IN ONE PARADISE (90 minutes from Athens)
COASTAL ROADS: Quiet coastal roads with endless sea views.
PINE-COVERED HILLS: Rolling climbs through pine forests and traditional villages.
ANCIENT PLACES: Ride through living history and iconic archaeological sites.
ISLAND RIDING: Ferry crossings and beautiful island roads just a short ride away.
