Day 184: Chalkida to Athens

We’ve made it to Athens

After a week of making our way through Greece, we’ve finally made it to the capital — and we’re knackered. It seems a common theme, we get somewhere interesting and we’ve tired ourselves out so much getting there we just want to sit in our hotel room. So, for Athens we’re going to have two rest days, which is hopefully enough to ensure that we actually feel rested afterwards, and get some time to have a look round the city.

The day started with more waterfront riding

We crossed the bridge from the EVIA Island to the mainland

Lunch in an unremarkable square by the sea in Skala Oropou

Then, a big climb over the last remaining range of hills between us and the capital

Then, downhill into Athens
