Olympia, the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games, is now the starting point of an exceptional cycling event, L'Étape Greece, scheduled for April 6, 2024.

Greece popular

Cycling in Greece has been increasingly popular. This trend is hardly surprising considering the delicious cuisine, hospitable locals, easy accessibility, well-maintained roads, and abundant sunshine. The growing number of cycling events, such as L'Étape Greece, is a testament to this trend. Launched in 2022, L'Étape Greece is now gearing up for its third edition. Renowned for its quality, L'Étape events offer cyclists a taste of the Tour with the coveted green, yellow, and polka dot jerseys up for grabs.

Athens and the Peloponnese

Admittedly, Olympia is a bit off the beaten path. To travel to Greece solely for the gran fondo might seem excessive. Why not pair this event with a journey from Athens through the Peloponnese and back? This is the perfect opportunity to explore the Greek mainland during a season ideal for cycling, without the extreme temperatures often exceeding 35 degrees.
