Leonidio Awaits: Join Our Scenic Cycling Journey Through Tradition and Nature

Our club rides are making a comeback, and this year, we’re exploring some fantastic new places. There’s something for all – from relaxed seaside rides to adventurous treks through ancient forests.

Our first stop is Leonidio, a Tsakonian village nestled between two towering mountains. It’s a perfect spot for cyclists, climbers, and anyone who loves nature. This place is really pretty and attracts people from all over. Thanks to the Dafnon River, the local farms grow tasty stuff like the famous Tsakonian Eggplant. It’s super sweet and a must-try.

On our first day, you’ll take a beautiful ride along the east coast of the Peloponnese.The route will be right next to the sea, so you’ll have amazing views of the blue water the whole time. The fresh sea air will keep you cool as you ride. You will pass by different beaches – some with soft golden sand and others with tiny pebbles. They’re perfect for a quick break to enjoy the view and take some photos. The road is mostly flat and easy, with just a few small hills, so it’s a relaxing ride. As you get close to Leonidio in the afternoon, they will be enough time to explore the village and try some tasty local food.

Day two is all about exploring new heights as you head towards Kosmas village. The climb is longer but manageable, perfect for those who enjoy a bit of a challenge. Along the way, you’ll notice a change in scenery – different types of trees and plants, unique to the higher altitude. It’s a beautiful change of pace from the coastal views. Your reward for the climb is the quaint village square in Kosmas, framed by three large sycamore trees, offering a peaceful spot to relax and soak in the accomplishment.

Both routes are peaceful and far from busy traffic, making them great for both easygoing and dedicated riders. You can take them at your own speed and really enjoy the experience. We can’t wait to share these wonderful rides with you!
