Greece is traditionally known as a holiday destination for sun worshippers and
beach combers. But there is more to Greece than sun and beaches.
Just 100
km south of Thessaloniki in mainland Eastern Central Greece rise the high mountain ranges of Mount Olympus (2918 meters), Ossa Mountains (1961 meters) and the Pieria mountain
range (2400 meters) directly overlooking the Aegean Sea. It is
home of the MountOlympus National Park (estblished 1938) with its unspoiled
nature and an area of deep traditions and a rich culture. Starting on the west coast of Greece and cycling through the wild Pindos mountains with its rural
nature , crossing the flatlands of Thessalia, visiting the famous Meteora Monasteries and ending at Mount Olympus at the east coast is an unforgettable experience for
advanced bikers. The island of Crete is wellknown for its exiting landscapes, high mountains directly overlooking the deep blue sea. Fascinating single tracks and long
descents to the sandy beaches makes this an unique paradise for Bikers. |
