The rides
Among the destinations we have cycled, the landscape of the Lake Plastira and the unique, breathtaking curve shaped rocks of Meteora, takes cycling to a totally new level.
The peaceful wetland and the calm water of the lake have provided us with this sense of isolation and ultimate privacy which turned our riding for just wonderful into a thrilling experience. The routes that made us fall in love with this place, the same ones selected here, are full with colors, smells, and constantly changing landscapes.
We have hard time to describe the feeling of amazement, to which all have surrendered, when, after the descent from Petrouli, we begun to discern the famous Rocks of Meteora. It was like the scenery was calling us to to merge into, and every pedal stroke was getting us closer and closer. (Alex was constantly making those crazy screams… well everyone has his own ways of expressing the excitements.)
