This is a long shot, but I am looking for information on Mountain Biking in Greece. Trails, clubs, whatever.

Have riden in Crete and Corfu. Not the mainland I'm afraid. Can recommend both islands. Loads of offroad and big mountains. Maps are abysmal and trial and error is the only way but as they are faily barren you can often see where to go.

I was there in Sep. and the weather was great, a little on the hot side, Rodas has a lot of graet donky roads, and a lot of topless beach goers, as Peter said, the only way to do it is by trial and error, last recomendation, carry a lot of H20 and if you want to read something about Corfú, Gerald Durrell's books are really good.

Thanks for the tip. Have read all of Durell's books. Athens is starting to have a really good biking scene, though the weather is starting to suck. This place is meant for all day "epic" kind of rides. Good fun.
