Aigeira - Cycling on country road

The local area of Aigeira and Akrata can satisfy every cycling endeavour however in the author’s opinion it is ideal primarily for hard-core cycling enthusiasts.

Road Cycling

The area offers ascents in stunning landscapes that will challenge the fittest of riders in their full length but can also be broken down to smaller segments so that they can be enjoyed by less trained riders.

One example of a beautiful climb is the one below.

Mountain Bike

Aigeira – Activities – Cycling – Kalavrita DH Track

There are a few mountain bike trails and you are advised to do a search to find out the latest information about the condition of those routes.

Bear in mind that most are in altitude of 1,000+ meters so during winter there will be days with snowfall, low visibility etc.

As a rule of thumb you should be very cautious with mountain biking as the terrain is well very “mountainous” with boulders and cliffs on every other turn so check the route well before you set-off and ride safe.

In the link below you can find more information about the registered tracks in the area.
