Arrival day. You start in Loutraki, a 1-hour drive from Athens airport. On the first evening, you will have dinner with the group and discuss your plans for the week.
On this day, you will circumnavigate a large part of the Gulf of Corinth before literally riding your motorbike ‘from sea to sky’ in the afternoon. Your stage on this day takes you to Ano Chora and covers approx. 350 kilometres. On the way, you will pass Delphi, which was considered the centre of the world by the ancient Greeks. For a special treat on this motorbike tour, Delphi offers some world-class asphalt bends. In the late afternoon, you will travel back in time, but only in terms of the condition of the roads. Cows and rocky passages await you on this route. At the end of the day, you will reach the beautiful family-run hotel where you will spend the night.
This day has a few surprises in store, as the 130 kilometres will bring unexpected route changes. You can expect a motorbike ride through Greek forests, along narrow, winding and countless exciting roads. You will end up at 1,700 metres above sea level. The tour leads along steep mountain walls with no room for error, so be careful. In between, you will have the opportunity to take a break to enjoy the beauty of the country. As you are mainly travelling off-road today, watch out for rockfalls, sharp rocks and slippery areas. Your destination will be the small town of Karpenisi, in the southern Pindos or Agrafa Mountains, where the hotel is located for the night.
Today's stage covers 160 kilometres. This section sounds short at first, but it's a tough one. It takes you out of the forest and into the mountains. The Agrafa Mountains are an insider tip in Greece. You start with some beautiful tarmac roads that turn into gravel and lead directly into the Agrafa Mountains. Follow the Agrafiotis river, which leads you along exciting off-road passages. The route is again very demanding, you should have your bike well under control, as you are again at an altitude of around 1,700 metres. The roads on the mountain slopes are steeper but the challenges alternate. The day offers marvellous views and ends as a reward in a spa hotel on Lake Plastiras.
This route takes you right into the heart of Greece. Today you will explore three lakes, the Plastiras and Kremasta reservoirs and Lake Trichonida. Your route of around 250 kilometres begins with a short but challenging off-road section. Today, too, you will climb up to 1,700 metres above sea level on your motorbike. Once in the mountains, there are no more paved roads and your journey continues southwards. You ride on a mixture of unpaved, almost overgrown, gravel and tarmac roads directly to the beautiful turquoise-blue Kremasta reservoir, which is considered the jewel of central Greece. Your hotel is located above Lake Trichonida with one of the best views of the tour.
A spectacular crossing over the Charilaos-Trikoupis Bridge awaits you today. The approx. 200 km long tour takes you from the mountains down to the sea. You cross the Charilaos-Trikoupis Bridge to the Peloponnese peninsula. The bridge is the border between the Gulf of Patras and the Gulf of Corinth. You then continue towards the sky. In harmony with nature, you cycle along rocky roads in some places. Today it is important that you ride this route on your motorbike in a relaxed manner and with vision. Once you reach the top, a wonderful view of the coastal town of Patras awaits you.
The next stage takes you to Corinth. You cycle approx. 250 km on mixed gravel and tarmac roads. The first stop awaits you at high altitude, at one of the most popular ski resorts in the Peloponnese. The route continues through forests and agricultural landscapes, over mountain plateaus to Corinth. You make a stop at the Corinth Canal before riding the last few kilometres directly to your hotel by the sea.
Full of impressions and proud to have mastered this challenging tour, your motorbike tour in Greece ends today. If you still have some time, enjoy the spa at your hotel or take a short walk before travelling home again
This route is unique in Greece and includes a wealth of adventurous trails.
