10:30Cycling the forest roads of mt. Parnitha
The biggest part of the route is closed for vehicle's circulation making the cycling here quite, safe and beautiful. The ride imposes no major difficulties, since the rider will only have to cover a few uphill parts. The most impressive thing on this cycling route is the constantly changing views, as it circles the mountain mass on Parnitha. On a clear day some can see the Aegean sea beyond the Evia island.

The current route allow us to increase the route's length and difficulty. Please let us know to adjust the day accordingly.
