Cycling Route
Details
197.59 km
3,161 m
Following Hercules completing his labours is not an easy task. We ll start by riding the gentle slopes of 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 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 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 alpic style lake of Doxa is waiting for us to prove why they dont call the area accidentally, little switzerland of Greece. Following Hercules completing his labours is not an easy task and this is the most challenging route of ours.
