에피로스 최고의 사이클링 경로

A nice place to relax and enjoy the view.

My first break for freddo espresso in Greece!

Campsite on a nearly 4 km long sandy beach

Very beautiful, long beach, right next to the road that is only used by beachgoers.

To all bike travelers, I highly recommend you to go to his workshop for any problem or simply to have your bikes serviced before facing other neighboring countries. It is located in a strategic place close to the border. If you contact him in advance (via his Instagram page @the_bicycle_workshop_), he can order parts for you. He is certainly one of the best repairers in the north of the country and especially in neighboring countries. All his advice on bike maintenance is very relevant and yet quite unknown to cycle tourists. Very happy to leave with a brand new bike!

The path runs parallel to the sea and offers you not only a pleasant breeze, but also a beautiful view of the surrounding mountains and the quiet bay. The wide beach invites you to take short breaks - perfect for dipping your feet in the water or simply enjoying the panorama. The route is easy to ride and there are always small cafes and taverns that invite you to take a short break. It is particularly quiet here in the morning or late afternoon and the sun bathes the coast in a warm light. The combination of sea view and mountains makes this route something special and offers a great mix of relaxed cycling and enjoying nature.

Plataria is the perfect place to unwind after a bike ride and enjoy the relaxed atmosphere of the harbor. As soon as you enter the small harbor town, you can feel the hustle and bustle subside. Fishing boats gently rock in the water while the fishermen haul in their nets - an image that almost seems to come from a travel guide. The promenade invites you to park your bike and take a break. The harbor has its own charm, with small tavernas where you can sit right by the water at sunset. When the sun sets behind the hills and the sailboats are reflected in the calm water, it is one of those moments when you just want to stop and enjoy. The area is very popular with cyclists, and there is a well-developed cycle path that stretches along the coast - ideal for planning Plataria as a stopover. A highlight is definitely the view of the sea as you roll along the promenade. Whether for a short rest or a longer stay

The port of Igoumenitsa is a practical starting point if you are travelling by bike and want to take a ferry - for example to Corfu (Kerkira) or towards Italy. The prices for cyclists are really fair and loading and unloading the bike is relaxed. There are even special holders on board so that your bike is safely stowed away while you enjoy the crossing. The atmosphere at the port is pleasant - you have a view of the sea while you wait for the ferry and you can have a last coffee in one of the cafes right on the pier before you set off. When you board the ferry, the next little adventure on two wheels begins - a quiet crossing with fresh sea air included. The best thing about it is that you are flexible with the bike: get on, park it and soon be setting off again on the other side.
