Exploring new territories is a never ending quest for most travellers. This is where we come in handy. Off the beaten track, pure and tranquil, Kymi is just the ideal place to spend a couple or more days of cycling. Many beautiful villages and windy roads lay before us heading towards the mountain villages of the area. Summer is the high season for this area, allowing for peaceful visitors to ride their bike in peace of mind the rest of the year.

Aegean blue backdrops will fill our day, lush green vegetation will calm our senses whereas numerous fish taverns can satisfy our taste-buds after the tour.

Depending on the day of the week we will be able to visit the Platanenhof farm which is next to the river, where we can enjoy tasty & local refreshments.

*Tailor-made adjustments can be made according to the exact place of stay.
