Arrival in Athens!

Vicky, Audrey & I had an overnight stay at Sofitel, Gatwick which made the early check in so much easier & we popped back for breakfast. However that left us no time for duty free and just made itLeer más
The Acropolis
21 de septiembre de 2025, Grecia ⋅ ☀️ 28 °C
Very quick turnaround once we left the airport. Some of us hadn't eaten since early morning so a spot of late lunch then an uphill sprint to the Acropolis (past some lovely shopping! 🤣)

I got taken out on one of the hills. It was very steep and narrow as soon as you turned the corner the climb was horrendous. One of the regular bikes tacked right in front of me and I ended up head down in a storm drain on my back like a stranded turtle. I’m sure it was a sight to behold. Just a cut elbow and knee could have been so much worse. I think they should have sent the e-bikes up first. I hope a lesson learned! [Vicky Haworth]

Epidavros to Tolo

Today started off with a visit to a museum followed by the amphitheatre at Epidavros. Quite a lot of uphill. The heat makes the climbs much more exhausting. I took the strategic decision to opt out ofLeer más
Tolo to Mycenae (via Nafplio)
25 de septiembre de 2025, Grecia ⋅ ⛅ 16 °C
We started with a wander round the lovely town of Nafplio. Most of the cycling today was flat, including a fabulous off-road section along the coast with amazing views. There was a nasty looking steepLeer más
Mycenae to Loutraki

Today was our longest day, and the windiest. Why do we always seem to be cycling into wind?? We had a long slow painful climb on a main road before veering off into the countryside. The visit to anLeer más
