Forests inhabited by brown bears, raw mountains resembling Dolomites, and barely a trace of tourism – it’s not how you imagine Greece, is it? Up north, you will find the best-kept Hellenic secret: the Pindus Mountains – an extraordinary cycling destination most people have <\/strong>never heard of. With empty roads, quaint Zagori villages and welcoming people, bike touring in the Pindus Mountains was one of the most incredible adventures I\u2019ve had in the last few years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

No kidding, this is not just marketing enthusiastic BS. Once I entered the Pindus National Park, I instantly felt this place was different from anywhere I\u2019ve been.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where are the Pindus Mountains?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Pindus Mountain range stretches from the Greek-Albanian border to the north of the Peloponnese. The highest mountain of Pindus is Mount Smolikas, which, 2637 metres above sea level, is the second highest mountain in Greece, after Mount Olympus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
