More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You begin at the harbor, the sea air cutting clean and the town’s low-slung houses rolling away behind you as electric assist hums to life beneath your hands. The road slopes, the e-bike carries you steadily toward a dark silhouette: the Methana volcanic ridge rising from the peninsula like a sleeping animal. You climb; pines hush and the Aegean opens in a band of silver below.
