Epicenter of Greek myths and legends
Inhabited for millennia, the Peloponnese is the source of many of Greece’s most beloved mythological figures and real life heroes, from Jason and his Argonauts to King Leonidis of Sparta. No wonder Lonely Planet named the Peloponnese the #1 European destination in 2016.
You will visit the region’s most legendary sites as you ascend mountain roads, hug gorges, follow seacoast roads and overnight in memorable accommodations where the hosts make you feel proud to have arrived by bike. Most of the route consists of rural back roads.
Like Crete, the Peloponnese terrain beckons the seasoned cyclist. The highest elevation is 2985 feet 909 meters, on a long cycling day, 107 km 66 miles, from Nafplio to Dimitsana. If those numbers are within your ability, you will love pedaling across the Peloponnese.
