Welcome to the Ipsario Tour, a challenging route designed for everyone.
Our top-notch fleet of bicycles ensures a comfortable and enjoyable journey, featuring a unique route on the east side of the island at the foot of Mount Ypsari, reaching a peak of 1204 m.The tour kicks off at our office, Hype Trails, where each participant receives their bike and undergoes a thorough check and fitting process. We then embark on our first kilometres in the scenic area of Skala Potamia, running parallel to the coastline.
After a invigorating warm-up, we leave the beach behind and ascend a forest road towards the mountain. As we reach the area of Lefki, we turn left to continue along the forest road, running parallel to the mountain ridge.
Following a challenging uphill journey of 10 kilometres, we descend to the traditional settlement of Potamia, passing through the village's charming square with its iconic plane trees, before taking the traditional route to Mount Ypsario.
The ascent becomes increasingly demanding, culminating at the 20th kilometre, after which we head to our next destination, the picturesque settlement of Panagia, known for its stone houses. Here, we traverse the village's cobbled streets, passing through the heart of the settlement with its array of shops and souvenir stores, offering a perfect spot for a brief rest.
Having conquered the demanding part of the route, we make our way to the golden coast, travelling the final kilometres along the coastal road back to our starting point.
The journey concludes with a well-deserved rest and an opportunity for participants to engage in discussions about their experience.
