Description

Eleven stages along the Adriatic, through Albania and down Greece’s western coast. This route links some of southern Europe’s strongest coastal riding with real overland travel: Dubrovnik, the Bay of Kotor, Budva, Shkodër, Durrës, Vlorë, the Llogara Pass, Himarë, Corfu, Parga, Mesolongi, the Gulf of Corinth and finally Athens.It is not just a seaside cycle route. The tour includes ferries, mountain passes, lagoons, harbour towns, island roads, ancient sites and long sections close to the water. The best part is the constant shift: tight Riviera roads in Albania, green Ionian island riding, quieter Epirus coast, the Rio–Antirrio Bridge and the final approach through Corinth into Attica.Create a free account to see the full route, all stages, highlights and planning details.
