サロニカ諸島のおすすめMTBライド

In the proverbial "good old days," this former windmill, prominently positioned on a hill and thus clearly visible from afar, must have made a profound impression on the viewer. However, this has changed dramatically: Only the ruined remains of the once proudly towering tower with its once sweeping wings remain as a sad testament to that bygone era. Today's visitor is less likely to enjoy the sight of the ruins than the truly breathtaking view of the expansive landscape unfolding before them.

This volcanic peninsula of Methansa offers unique landscapes and incredible panoramas of the Saronic Gulf. Beautiful walls supporting olive groves, most often made of pink stone. On the Kamena Choria side, a lava field descended to the village, probably destroying part of it. Of course, the gradients are significant, but the surface is good. No mountain bike is necessary, but low-speed gears are recommended. In spring, the vegetation explodes: white and pink rockrose, broom, Judas trees, sage, laurels, red and yellow poppies, etc. There is a pure water fountain at Polilogia, next to the shelter at the viewpoint.

Mountain biking area in Kanakia, Salamina

A small house by the sea, with the monastery of Faneromeni opposite and the pine forest just a breath away, was the refuge of Aggelos Sikelianos during the last and most difficult years of his life. The small building, which had been standing for years, was restored and handed over to the local authorities by the Ephorate of New Monuments of Attica in 2006, the same year that Anna Sikelianou passed away, whose wish was that relics from their common life there.

Interesting ancient site along the way - no entrance fee.
