Peloponnissos, Jan. 06, 2003

For the fun of it:

It was a really bright and warm day too, so my friend Spyros asked if we might ride a small loop around Peloponnissos. Given that we had a limited time, that is we had to be back in about 6-7 hrs after depart, he suggested we ride to Akrata and then do the small loop of the three northern lakes of Peloponnissos: Tsivlou, Doxas and Stymphalia.

This is most of the trip we did. Actually I have omitted the motorway from Athens to Akrata, and the way back from Kiato to Athens.
