Cycling

Lesvos is ideal for cyclists! It has a terrain suitable for every type of rider. For the leisurely-inclined, there are plenty of flat roads hugging the sparkling scalloped edged coastline, as well as moderate hills for casual climbing to reach pristine country villages. For avid cyclists seeking ascents, the mountain ranges of Olympus and Lepetymnos can provide that extra edge.

Whatever your pace, a typical day's excursion will bring you nearer with one or more of the island’s countryside treasures, such as, centuries-old olive groves, pine and chestnut  forests, vineyards, old stone bridges, caves, country  chapels, thermal springs, volcanic geosites, petrified forests, Ottoman era mosques, Genoese castles or 2,500 year-old ruins.

Why use the Bicycle?

The bicycle is a good way to explore Lesvos because it offers a unique closeness to this precious island. Slow motion travel enables one-to-one encounters with the natural environment and exceedingly hospitable locals.

Whether you've have a casual ride or a Sisyphean  climb, a day of bicycling will give you  a feeling of tremendous achievement as well as the ceaseless joys in a land blessed with a perfect climate, rich culture and a proud people. With over 400 miles of asphalt roads, there are many options for cycling.
