This Collection covers the areas I visited during my trip, most notably the Peloponnese, but with a couple of days riding in the city of Athens itself. Capital cities and phenomenal riding aren't things you usually hear in the same sentence, but trust me on this one, Athens has some really great riding to offer.
The routes in the Peloponnese focus on the areas around Nafplio and Kalamata which are the most popular tourist destinations. Fear not, these routes take you off the beaten track in to Greece's beautifully deserted countryside and mountain roads. The Tours included in this Collection barely scratch the surface of what there is to offer for the cyclist looking for exploration or adventure. I truly found it to be a cyclist's paradise with friendly people and wonderful food all adding to the sense that I just have to come back and explore!
I completed these routes on a road bike, however, there is an abundance of incredible gravel roads that criss-cross the mountain ranges. You can have a wonderful adventure in Greece on any kind of bike, but my dream bike would be an all road bike so that I could go pretty much anywhere.
I hope these Tours whet your appetite for cycling in Greece with a taste of what's on offer there. As with all routes on Komoot, it is easy to alter the route to your requirements using the 'replan this Tour' button or to change the start location to any point along a loop. I really hope this inspires you to explore some of what Greece has to offer because I had a wonderful time and I most certainly will be back!
