With its mild weather, Mediterranean scenery, rich history and world-renowned landmarks, Greece is a tourist paradise for cyclists. Cycle tourism in Greece has been growing significantly over the past few years and the increasing demand has led to a development of related services. Although the 3 EuroVelo routes that cross Greece are not completely signposted yet, infrastructure has developed and rural roads with low traffic provide great opportunities for cycle touring. Furthermore, more and more cities are building cycle paths and operating public bike-sharing schemes.
National EuroVelo Coordination Centre
“Cities for Cycling” is implementing a series of actions with an aim to promote the use of the bicycle and the development of cycling tourism in Greece. Among its priorities is the creation of a platform for exchanging bicycling knowledge and experiences between Greece and European cities.
The national tourism body provides a good overview of the three EuroVelo routes in Greece. It identifies the touristic highlights on each route and provides links to further information.
