Lonely country roads, a untouched coastal landscape, pristine mountain villages and a wealth of historic sights make this region a unique cycling destination. Climate, topography and culinary delights offer the ideal conditions for both enjoyable and ambitious cycling holidays. The offer of tours is correspondingly diverse and varied. The terrain is mostly rolling with climbs and not too many flats.

The resort

The vacation region on the coast of Navarino is located in the Greek province of Messenia. Here you will spend a relaxing vacation by the sea. The sparsely populated and agricultural coastal landscape is very attractive and original. Feel welcome in the small villages thanks to greek friendliness and hospitality. Historically, Messinia was important, therefore, there are many interesting artifacts and sights from times long past.

Those interested in culture and history should not miss this highlight.
