CYCLING
_edit.jpg)
Chios is an ideal destination for cycling, not only because of its size, but also because of the richness of the natural and cultural resources and the variety of itineraries it has to offer.
The best way to explore the complex network of traditional Kampos with its narrow streets, high stone walls, majestic gates, orchards and mansions is undoubtedly by bike. Cycling in Kampos is an activity for all age groups as the area is flat with minimal car circulation. Every visitor is given the opportunity to admire the beauties of the area without haste and to wander in an environment rich in history and aromas from the flowers and fruits of the citrus trees at all times of the year.
Furthermore, Bella Cisterna's location is close to the picturesque village of Thymiana (1.5km), the sandy beach of Karfas (3km), the lively city centre and port (6km) as well as the vast area of Kampohora (many authentic villages), beaches Megas Limionas and Agia Fotia, offering many options. It's the ideal destination for those who wish to combine nature, history and cycling.
