[#1034157]

My gf's family have a place in greece that we get to go to each year. Next year I'm thinking about going out there for a little longer and doing some biking.
The place is near Athens (Porto Rafti).

Any routes/local knowledge anyone?

A quick [b]GOOGLE[/b] turned this up , there must be loads of decent stuff around Athens there's loads of mountains round it.

Only place I've done any proper mtb in Greece was in Rhodes but that company folded a few years ago.

I did a quick [B]GOOGLE[/b] too but didn't find any particular [b]PORTO RAFTI[/b] routes so i though I'd [b]ASK ON AN INTERNATIONAL MOUNTAIN BIKE FORUM[/B]

Thanks though - this is helpful.
