Cycling Greece in Winter // Corfu to Athens // World Bicycle Touring Episode 13

We got chased by every dog (but the nice one in the intro) in Greece but were too busy pedaling away as fast as possible to film it. We need to rig up some sort of dog chase cam to better document the drama, the only dog chase in this video is when Andrew turns the tables and chases the dogs.

This episode documents our ride around the island of Corfu and our journey through mainland Greece to Athens. Our time in Greece so far has been peppered with amazing scenery, incredible ancient ruins, and wonderful food. The weather was extremely variable in January, and we experienced wonderful sunny days as well as cold, rainy ones, and extremely persistent headwinds. We rode through picturesque coastal towns and into the mountains to visit the ancient city of Delphi before wheeling into Athens. Next we’ll ride some of the Peloponnese region before taking a ferry over to Italy.

We’re Andrew and Jenny. We sold all our stuff, built our bicycles, and headed out on an around the world bicycle tour in May of 2021. We started our European tour in Paris, and we’re currently in the Balkans.
