Sappho Women, in association with Lesvos Ride (https://lesvosride.gr), invites you on an exceptional and challenging bike trip!

Join your experienced guide, Dr. Rebecca, for a spectacular cycle across the old mountain road between Eressos and the picturesque seaside village of Sigri. Please note: This trip is not for the faint-hearted – this trail is tough and requires a good level of fitness!

The Route & Experience:

This exhilarating ride follows rough dirt tracks along the coastline to Sigri, passing remote churches, deserted beaches, and wild mountainous terrain. Expect long climbs and descents, but be prepared for utterly breathtaking scenery that will make every pedal stroke worthwhile.

We’ll pause for a welcome dip in the turquoise waters of a sheltered cove just outside Sigri, before heading into the village for a well-earned refreshment break at one of Sigri’s charming cafes. Once refuelled and rested, we will return by the same scenic route.
