THE OLYMPIC RIDE 12days/ 11nights
Itinerary:
Greece is more than sand and beaches. This unique package is offering the visitor the opportunity to experience a different taste of Greece by riding on Harley Davidson Motor bikes. The Olympic Ride will show you the wild beauty of the Greek mountains in combination with the deep blue waters of the Ionian Sea. Along the road you will see beautiful sceneries as well as some of the most important monuments and sights of Greece such as Delphi, Meteora monasteries, Zagorochoria, Ancient Olympia, Nafplio, Ancient amphitheater of Epidaurus and the Isthmus of Corinth. The total length of the tour is about 1.800km and it will last for 11 days. The average riding distance per day is approx. 260 km, but consider that we are riding mainly through windy mountain roads, which can be quite tiring… In order to keep the fun up, we have planned also for some days off the bike to give you the chance to enjoy the sights and the beautiful Ionian Sea.
And of course, no visitor should leave from Greece without having visited the Acropolis and the Parthenon.
