1. Beautiful Landscape:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Greece really does offer exceptionally beautiful views and landscapes. You have the azure waters of the Mediterranean with inland the rugged mountains and accompanying valleys. The Peloponnese and Macedonia (in the north) in particular are known for their diversity of terrain. But also for the beautiful views. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Historic sites<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If there is one thing Greece is known for, it is its history. Explore Greece's extensive history on a bicycle. In the Peloponnese, visit famous sites such as Olympia, the birthplace of the Olympic Games, and Mycenae, an important centre of Greek civilisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Challenging Routes:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Route 1: Across the Peloponnese <\/strong>
This route takes you from the coast of Nafplion to Leonidas and then via Sparta towards Kalamata. This route is for several days, but then you really do get to see ALL the highlights. Here you will find the highlights of ancient Greek civilisation and, as we reported earlier, here the roads are fantastic and you will hardly meet anyone on a bike. Ideal!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
