Vafkeri Summit!

MTB Greece – Advanced Rides for Mountain Bikers

Ride Stats: Distance: 26km / Elevation Gain: 935m / Calorie Burn: 1500

A great taste of MTB Greece – we start by taking either an on or off road climb to the traditional mountain village of Vafkeri. Admiring the panoramic views on the ascent, the elusive village eventually comes in to sight and we make a well deserved stop for refreshments. From the village we climb higher past the derelict monastery of Agia Assomati until we reach the summit and time for a panoramic photo stop! We begin the rugged descent on fire road and continue onto singletrack following some ancient rocky footpaths known as ‘monopati’, past the Sfaedes Springs and a deserted village. This singletrack trail emerges at the foot of Nidri waterfalls. We stop here at one of our favourite cafes, shaded under the plane tree before returning to Nidri.
