يوم 1 GS Traveler Moto Rentals - Monemvasia - 356

You will start you day by visiting the Isthmus Canal in Corinth following a scenic coastal route of the Saronic Gulf. A marvel of architecture constructed in the 1800’s allowed the connection of the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea. It cuts through the narrow Isthmus of Corinth and separates the Peloponnese from the Greek mainland, arguably making the peninsula an island. The canal was dug through the Isthmus at sea level and has no locks. It is 6.4 kilometers in length and only 21.4 meters wide at its base.


Then via the Argolis Gulf you will arrive to Leonidio. A place known for its extreme sports and in particular climbing. The scenery is truly magnificent with the high rocks overlong the beautiful stone built village of Leonidio. After a short break you will follow the mountainous route towards the beach of Fokianos. This route is a motorcycle heaven! Nice asphalt, tight corners and wonderful scenery will accompany you to one of the nicest beaches in Greece. A true unspoiled paradise. From there the newly created seaside route to Kiparissi will simply leave you in awe. The village itself with the lovely architecture, the sandy beaches and the numerous tavernas will allow you to refresh and relax before heading Limenas Ieraka. As you approach this village you will notice the fjord like anaglyph of the place. A lovely place to visit prior to arriving in Monemvasia for your overnight stay.
