About this experience

Our love for cycling has been growing for years. We embraced the freedom in our daily cycling rides. Thus, we want to share this passion with those that are curious enough to discover the cycling routes of Thassos and Northern Greece and ride free with us. Thassos was our top pick! It is one of the best spots that combine mountains and sea. And as experience athletes ourselves, with bike racing experiences in Greece and abroad, we are very selective. The routes of Thassos combine a diverse terrain of forest roads, stony paths, and routes. Thus, we created routes that connect traditional settlements and offer a unique view of the Aegean sea. Our Guides will inform every participant with pieces of information about the nature and secrets of the island.
