Cycling EuroVelo in Greece

The countries that reported the most important developments in the past year are Serbia, Spain and Italy.

Spain developed 622 km of routes, mostly improving EuroVelo 8 – Mediterranean Route, but also EuroVelo 1 – Atlantic Coast Route.

Mapping Cycling Routes

This action aims to raise awareness and engage the public in disseminating bicycle traffic conditions in our city. The main objective is to map the bike routes which are preferred for daily commuting residents or visitors to the city. Secondary objective is to record the characteristics of each route (movement time, degree of difficulty and risk). At the same time enables those who have no bike, to have one for free. A list of available web mapping applications will be provided, access to platform participatory mapping and filing bike paths recorded from visitors. In cooperation with Office for Sustainability, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.
