The Weather

Won't it be too hot? It's a question we have been asked from time to time.

BBC average weather conditions for Athens.

Our usual answer is that we are not on the islands and we aren't riding in central Athens so its a few degrees cooler in the hotest months of July and August. You always have the option to start the ride earlier in the morning or start at a higher altitude where it is cooler.
