Bicycling in Greece

EXPLORE ELEFTHERES BY BIKE

Bicycling in Greece can be a great experience and while staying at Kairos Garden you can have a fantastic time exploring the area around Eleftheres by bike.

If you are a biker traveling through Greece on your way to or from Turkey this is a good place to take a break - there´s safe and easy parking for your bike in our yard, and if you´re on a budget we´ll let you put up your tent in our garden. Contact us here.

Around Eleftheres there´s a big choice of different routes, whether you'd love mountain biking on rough track roads in our local mountain Symbosio, go for a more relaxed trip through olive groves and vineyards to the sea, or on a longer trip visiting neighbouring villages - or do a day around the island of Thassos.

Bicycle Adventures

The road goes on forever, the story never ends.

Bicycle adventures are not like other kinds of travel adventures.
Peter van der Lans has traveled the world on his bicycle and has created a fantastic website sharing his experience, with plenty of tips and great advice for bicycle travelers.
Read about his bicycling adventures in Greece here.

The highest point of Symbosio is at 693 meters above sea level and you can actually get close on the bike. There's a crisscross net of track roads along the mountain, which makes it possible to go biking along the back, where you'll have stunning views to what seems the whole world - on one side the ocean stretches to Africa (no, you can't actually see Africa), on the other side you'll see the green valley that separates Symbosio from the the mountain of Pangeo.

You can continue along this roads further south to the villages of Myrtofyto or Folia, or go east through the forest to the small town of Eleftheroupolis. See the map here.

Riding a bike from the garden villas to the beach is another option. Eleftheres is situated only three kilometres from the sea, but we'd recommend a slightly longer route when you go on bike, on quiet country roads through the vineyards. When you have reach the coast you can either stop to swim or continue along the sea exploring more beaches - or both!

There are short distances between our local villages - Elaioxori is three kilometres from Eleftheres, then follows Myrtofyto another four kilometres away and finally Folia in the end of the valley, six kilometres from Eleftheres. So bicycling from village to village, stopping at local coffee shops or tavernas for refreshments, is also an option.

Whatever you choose - bicycling in Greece is a lovely adventure! Return from Bicycling in Greece to KAIROS homepage
