Description
Starting from the meeting spot in Petralona, in the center of Athens, and move towards the port of Piraeus and gate E8 where the ferries to Aegina depart from. This section is about 8 km long and you will be cycling inside the urban zone. Next, a ferry trip for about 1 hour and 20 minutes. Reaching Aegina's port, you will start cycling by the sea towards the archaeological Museum of Aegina and the ancient Temple of Apollo. After being on a flat road for a while you’re going to bike through Souvala, the second port of Aegina -much smaller than the main one- and continue towards Vagia. That’s where you're going to leave the sea behind and move towards the center of the island until you climb the hill which leads to the temple of Aphaea, a must-see archeological site. Cycling down towards Agia Marina comes next and it’ll take you to a wonderful beach of golden sand and green waters. If the weather allows this is where you’re going to take a small break and relax inside a beautiful natural environment. Why not swim for a while? Next you're going uphill for a bit and through the beautiful pine forest of Aegina. You’ll reach the big Monastery of Agios Nectarios and that’s where you head back to Aegina town. The ride will be over at the Port of Aegina where you can enjoy the a quick bite by the sea if you want. Next up, you must visit the local kiosks where local producers sell their delicacies based on Aegina pistachio. After tasting, it's sure that you will by some. It’s time to get on the ferry and leave for Piraeus. Cycling again through the urban zone you will get back to the meeting point. A total 50 kms bike ride, including 2 uphills on the island.Includes
