| 'GREAT MOUNTAIN BIKE HOLIDAY WITH EXCELLENT VARIETY OF RIDING' |  | Strengths:
Week was divided into 2 distinct parts, first part was riding in the Mountains / hills to the North of Athens, good climbs and challenging / exciting single track ( some of the best I have ridden). Second part was on the Island of Evia which was a mini expedition and the high light of my trip. Combination of great long climbs, fast downhills, scenery, trees, flowers wild life, bird life, history and a night in a basic but special lodge in the village of Kalianou. | | Weaknesses:
Hard to fault! The Cavallari Palace Hotel was a bit odd BUT clean, tidy and convienient for Mount Parnitha. I didn't enjoy the Athens tour ~ basically because I hate cities and crowds and I wanted to get up on Mount Parnitha again on my last afternoon and did so doing 18 km climb from 250 m to 1000 m and then back down again in under 3 hours to finish my week off! | | Overall:
No hesitation in recommending this to anyone looking for a varied Mountain Bike Holiday and especially if you are interested in Natuaral and Human History as well as Mountain Biking.
Personally found Evia and Mount Ochi enchanting and will no doubt return before too long.
James is willing and able to adjust the rides / routes to suit individuals abilities.
