You will have the chance walk along the seaside promenade of the town before you leave for the hotel and prepare for the following 5 day exciting ride. Overnight in the hotel ***
DAY 2. Riding the river of Steni (Vertical metres of climb 522 m): 19 km - 3 to 4 hours of riding

DAY 3. The resin producer’s route (VMC 840 m): 21 km - 5+ hours of riding
Starting from Steni we cycle to the village of Makrykapa along tarmac roads. We then follow dirt roads through the mountains. Depending on the time of year we will come across heaps of timber and the famous resin producing forests of Evia. The route is circular but there is always an option of extending the route. Return to Hotel
DAY 4. The mountains of Steni (VMC 1016 m): 25 km - 4 to 5 hours of riding
On leaving the village of Steni we head into the mountains following dirt roads. We ride our bikes all the way to 900m of altitude where we can enjoy some panoramic views. A small single track then leads our way down towards the hidden village of Kabia where we will enjoy fresh trout (freshly caught from the trout farm which we will visit) and some liquid refreshment. We set off again towards Agia Kyriaki chapel where we can have a dip in the river. The route is circular and will take us back to our hotel. Return to Hotel
DAY 5. Eretria & Mountains (VMC 608 m): 26 km - 3 to 4 hours of riding
Our tour starts along the hilltops of Eretria heading to the mountains. Olive groves, followed by pines trees will dominate the scenery. Rough hills and what seems like forgotten to man roads that lead to nowhere! St. George Arma monastery will quench our thirst providing us with a resting place to have our picnick. This tour is intended for experienced mountainbikers. This is where you will realize how mountainous Evia island really is. Return to Hotel
DAY 6. Coast to Coast Sublime Beaches of Chalkida (VMC 238 m): 23 km - 3 to 4 hours of riding
Whether you are an everyday mountainbiker or a novice cyclist, this is a ride you will enjoy. Take part in this beautiful cycle along Chalkis’s sublime seaside houses and coved beaches. You will have the opportunity to have a swim in the sea (have your swimming gear with you). Cycling along so many winding beaches, the only thing you have to do is relax and enjoy the scenery.
DAY 7. Departure
