Why road biking in Corinthia?
Corinthia, with its long coastline and high mountains offers endless opportunities for both pleasure and adventure, as well as for inspiring combinations of both. The coastal roads are so close to the beach side, that it will need just a few seconds from the cyclists to get off their bike and refresh themselves by jumping in the blue waters of the Gulf of Corinth. The roads on the hilly side of the region are perfect for amazing climbing and challenging rides and enable cyclists to traverse through picturesque villages. The large number of days with full sunshine and the mild weather are among the advantages Corinthia region offers. That practically means that cycling here can take place all year round.
Mountain Bike
The Northern coast of the Peloponnese, where Daphne’s Club is situated, is blessed with an amazing hinterland of high mountains and dense forests. An ideal place for mountain biking! The paths connect various regions, such as the one of Sykion and Xylokastro-Evrostini; they also get the cyclists around the fabulous Stymfalia Lake or towards to the summit of mt. Ziria (2376m). This variety in difficulty can satisfy both avid and recreational cyclists.
More than just cycling
In addition to the landscape and its various levels of difficulty, touring cyclists will also find in Corinthia the true gems that make Greece stand out when it comes to traveling. These are hospitality and exceptional cuisine. Furthermore, when it comes to gastronomy, touring cyclists will be in for many treats, as Corinthia produces a centuries-old variety of wine-making grape, Agiorghitiko and the famous “Corinthian raisin”, a superfood for active people such as cyclists. Other locally produced delicacies are Feta cheese, olives and olive oil, fresh fish from the Gulf of Corinth and local goat meat, a bit strong in taste but worth every bite.
