Before you go

  • Carry enough water and food: villages on the way may have only a kafeneio or nothing open, especially in the afternoon.
  • Wear a helmet and use lights; many roads have no hard shoulder.
  • Avoid riding in the midday heat from June to September.
  • With over 1,000 m of climbing, this route suits riders with some experience.
  • Routes can close after fires or storms. Check the official page for the latest status.
