Biking Route 1
Biking from Skiathos Town to Skiathos Castle
We start from bus stop no.3 (bakery) and we make a light warm up to the first uphill at bus stop no.2. After ascending 1 km we enter a quite technical uphill path where we test our technique. The distance is not long and after that we come back to the asphalt road which we follow for 2 km.
Following this route, we arrive at the Monastery of Evangelistria and then we start descending a fairly technical path (Agalianous stream). Then, a difficult ascending to Saint Charalampos follows. Ending with the ascent, we relax by following the road to the next funny trail (single track) passing through the forest. Thus, we arrive at the most northern part of the island, the Castle.
We rest and then we continue for the return, leaving the group to choose the path of their choice, through trails or asphalt.
Distance: 25km – Duration: 5-5:30 hours – Difficulty Level: Hard
Biking Route 2
Biking from Skiathos Town to Kehria Beach
We start from bus stop no.3 (bakery) and we continue our journey on the coastal paved road that leads to Koukounaries. After 6 km of asphalt we arrive at Saint Paraskevi and we turn right. From there begins our beautiful adventure to Kechria. In the first meters there is asphalt but soon these will be preempted to meet clay earthern surface. We cross the beautiful stream of Achilas carefully enough as there are some technical points and we end up to the beach of Kechria. Here we stop for rest and swimming and there is the opportunity to eat something from the canteen which is on the beach of Kehria. For the return, cyclists are given the option to choose between the same path and an alternative one proposed from us.
Distance: 14km – Duration: 3-3:30 hours – Difficulty Level: Medium
