September Edition
Cycling Greece, slowly
April to early June and September to October. High summer is rideable in the Peloponnese if you start at dawn and stop by noon; the shoulder months are kinder in every way.
When to ride in Greece
- Daylight
- Fourteen and a half hours in midsummer, twelve in late September. In the hot months the usable riding window is dawn to noon.
- Wind
- The summer meltemi mostly spends itself on the Aegean; the western Peloponnese sees a light afternoon sea breeze.
- Surface
- Sealed inland lanes in fair condition, with some rough concrete on the steepest village links.
