Riders leave not only with adrenaline-fueled memories but also a fresh perspective on Greece’s lesser-known recreational landscapes.

Whether accelerating through pine-lined paths or pausing to take in views of the distant Saronic Gulf, riding with Panorama Bikes in Maroussi redefines what adventure biking means in the Mediterranean.

Check Battery Charge Before You Ride

Ensure the Shimano battery is fully charged to cover your entire route without losing electric assist mid-ride.

Brake Smoothly on Rocky Descents

Use the hydraulic disc brakes with care on loose limestone to maintain control on technical sections.
