Vouliagmeni Lagoon: simply a wonderful ride
At GR Cycling, we’re always on the hunt for new and exciting cycling routes to add to our laid-back weekend rides. We’d rather spend more time on our bikes than in the car, so we’ve crafted a route that’s less than an hour from Athens, where you’ll find a mix of terrains for a memorable ride.
Your journey kicks off in Pachi, a charming little fishing village close to Megara city. After a nice cup of coffee, you hop on your bikes and start a gentle climb to our first peak of the day. The path is peaceful, taking us through vineyards and olive groves. As you get closer to the top, a lush forest changes up the scenery.
After a speedy descent, you’re met with a view of the Corinthian Gulf, and you mostly stick to the coast as you ride. You’ll eventually reach a hidden gem that not everyone knows about – Vouliagmeni Lake and the remains of an ancient settlement, just a few kilometers away. In the summer, its sandy beach is perfect for swimming and hanging out with family and friends. In the winter, it’s a peaceful escape from the city’s hustle and bustle.
The last part of the route takes you back to Loutraki city, where you’’ll park our bikes and have plenty of time to enjoy a tasty meal and explore the city on foot.

Waarom alles in het Engels?
Πολλά από τα μέλη μας προέρχονται από το εξωτερικό και για λόγους ευγένειας, τιμώντας την Ελληνική Φιλοξενία, αποφασίσαμε να έχουμε σαν επίσημη γλώσσα τα αγγλικά.
Είμαστε όλοι μια παρέα, ας μην αφήσουμε τη γλώσσα να είναι εμπόδιο.
Ευχαριστούμε για την κατανόηση.
