George and Anna had for 30 years a wonderful alternative cafe in the central square of Afissos "Oasis".

All of us who have grown up in Afissos have spent endless nights in the legendary "Oasis" discussing and drinking the wonderful cocktails George made, locals and travelers sitting all together.

A loving couple with a special philosophy for life that includes love for nature, reading, sports, children, vegan food and meditation. George is also a Reiki teacher, Anna is a Pilates teacher and the parents of two teenage boys.

In 2019 they decided to make a big turn in their lives. They closed the cafe and created the Cycle plus Hike. We miss them very much but we are very happy to follow them in their new venture.

We have chosen for you one of the many suggestions Cycleplushike offers.

" Seaside ride"

A great suggestion if you have a family with children from 8 years old who know cycling well.

You drive by your car to Kato Gatzea around 10.30 in the morning. It is 9 km from Afissos, about a quarter of a distance. George and Anna are waiting for you there.

Alternatively, if you do not have a car or if you prefer not to drive, there is the possibility for George and Anna to come and pick you up from our hostel without any extra charge.

You get on your bikes and start your coastal ride passing by the beach of Kala Nera and Koropi.

The best part, however, is when you turn and head into the forest. When you reach a certain point, you will leave the bikes and walk for about 10 minutes, until you reach the best view you have ever seen......

The landscape is dreamy. Tall trees which generously offer their shade, birds chirping, beautiful little waterfalls and hidden small lakes. Of course you will have your swimming suit with you to swim!

Afterwards, George and Anna will have a picnic ready for you in the forest, so as to relax and enjoy the nature. Something light, of course, so that you can then cycle back to kato Gatzea.

The duration of the "Seaside Ride" is 3 and a half hours and the degree of difficulty is "easy".

If you want to do something different one day of your holidays, we highly recommend it.

We thank George and Anna for the special offer they made only for our customers.

• Cost 40 euros per person

• Pick up and return by their mini van to our hostel free of charge (if you do not want to use your car)
