A bit after 9.00 am we left for Lamia on the small roads. It was a great ride in great weather. a big part of the road just twists and turns among valleys and mountains so we switched on both headcams to make sure we don’t miss a moment. Just after Lamia we took the motorway towards Athens but a couple of miles later as the motorway passes the seaside we decided to look for a place to eat. We stopped at a cafe in Camena Vurla to enjoy the sea and sunshine and relax a bit since we were in no hurry. Originally we were due to arrive in Athens only on Saturday but we changed the schedule a bit and Orestis – our host in Athens – was kind enough to rearrange his to make sure we have a place to stay. So I didn’t want to arrive too early to make sure he doesn’t have to cut his day just for us.
This part of the motorway is quite nice but it is still a motorway. We stopped for fuel on the way and arrived to our destination at 5.00 pm exactly as I discussed with Orestis. He was already waiting for us and helped us with our luggage then showed us our apartment. Excellent place with a rooftop garden that overlooks Athens. What else can anyone want? 🙂 We then took the bikes to a nearby garage and walked back for a well deserved shower.
