East Peloponnesus

Next best thing to sail in Aegean is this one.  That is, choose a nice day with the typical Greek sun sparkling all over, and drive your bike from the very North of the Peloponnesus peninsula (Greece), down to the very south.  However do that while driving along the east coast, overlooking the blue Aegean sea melting over the horizon with an equally genuine blue sky.

Here is the short description of the itinerary:

· Depart from Korinthos canal, and drive towards Epidavros, coast to coast.

· Then transverse the Ermionida peninsula, reaching the city of Nafplio.  Have a coffee, overlooking the Burtzi Castle builded on a tiny island in the middle of the harbor.

· Then drive on the coast, south to Astros, Tiros, Leonidio.

· Go uphill, and stop for a refreshment in the nice village of Kosmas, in Parnon Mountain.

· From there you need less than an hour to reach your final destination, Githio, via Skala township.

Githio is a quite nice town, next to the open south Aegean sea, one step before the Libyan sea and open Mediterranean. A lot of hotels and seafood taverns are waiting for you.

We stayed at Kalypso pension, just above the Aegean sea, and a unique view.

 

Helpful hints:

· Kalypso rooms, Githio, exactly on N36.74123 E22.57010,
call Dimitris at +306945890391, ask for room #10

· The best map of Peloponnesus that money can buy is published by Anavasi (+302103218104). It is GPS ready, with WGS84 grid, at a scale of 1:250,000.
