explore the northeast corner of the Peloponnese
The Peloponnese Peninsula is a huge land mass that would take a good three weeks to cycle its most prominent destinations. Cross Peloponnese Drive & Bike enables a visitor to cover a broad swath of the peninsula. By contrast, Cross Corinthia is a way to become intimate with a small defined section of the peninsula, specifically the northeast corner of the Peloponnese.
Cross Corinthia should actually be called Cross Argolida Corinthia because it covers two geographical regions of the northeast corner of the Peloponnese: the upper portion (Corinthia) and the lower portion (Argolida). The Corinthia portion includes overnight in Isthmia and Nemea. The Argolida portion includes overnight in Epidavros, Spetses island and Nafplio.
The main difference between Cross Corinthia and Cross Peloponnese is that you do not confront the interior mountains. Cross Corinthia routes have flat stretches and hills but not challenging ascents. The highest elevation in the entire tour is 1360 feet, 417 meters compared to Cross Peloponnese’s highest elevation of 4324 feet, 1318 meters.
The beauty of Cross Corinthia is that you cycle on rural roads, visit a lovely Greek island, bike directly to three ancient historical sites and partake in the region’s fine food and indigenous wine.
