From the starting point of the tour we can see down and several kilometers far away, up to Corfu Town. As we move forward, we have panoramic views of the sparkling sea and the North –East coastline and Albania. The 16 km biking ride is semi-circular and the hiking is a 9 km circular route. The activity lasts approx. 2 hours. At the end of the tour we stop for a soft drink and a snack in a local café in one of the hillside villages and we will return in Dassia by minivan.
