Kiato

This ride will lead us from Kiato through the busy villages of Vocha to the main climb of the day, up to the village of Stimaga known wordwide for its sultana raisins. At the end of the climb we'll lay our eyes on the Valley of Nemea, the ''Bordeaux'' area of Greece. On the way down, through the vineyards and wineries we'll meet the city of Nemea. After a brief refueling stop there, we're  going to resume the loop by climbing the challenging villages of Bozikas. Only when we reach Souli we can tell that our climbing troubles are behind us.

Following Hercules completing his labours is not an easy task. We ll start from  thebusy city of Kiato by riding the flat road that connects the villages of Vocha with Corinth and Isthmos. Soon after we start climbing  the fisrt slopes of Galataki village, Anc Kleonai, and  Anc, Nemea, where the mythical hero had to slay the invicible Nemean Lion. After, wandering around the modern city of Nemea and the vineyard valley we'll climb to Psari  the main climb of the day to meet the famous Stymfalia Lake where Hercules slew the man-eating Stymfalian birds. The view of the lake surrounded by the mountains is enchanting. After climbing the challenging Kastania pass we'll meet the Feneos valley where Hercules had to dig sinks with his bare hands and drive away the standing waters. A little further away the alpine style lake of Doxa is waiting for us to prove why they call the area, little switzerland of Greece. Following Hercules completing his labours is not an easy task and this is the most challenging route of ours.
