44. Farsala to Glyfa

9 June 2022

A bit of a dusty start to the day…but we were not sorry to be leaving Farsala behind! And an hour or so on the bike…the dustiness was gone!!

Gladly the topography changed after Farsala…so we were back in the hills as we headed towards the coast…..and plenty of small twisting and turning side roads. The grain harvest is in full swing…so we twice had to take evasive action to avoid combine harvesters!! 

And….boyo….when we arrived at this sign I had just passed the 3,000km milestone!! (Volos…actually). Still loving it all!!

All in all a lovely ride….and as soon as we could see the sea we felt the cooling effects of a slight onshore breeze! And then we found oursvles in the Greece we know so well!!

One final drink stop when we hit the coast…then a 200m hummock to cross before descending to our two-night stop at Glyfa !! 

Now…as a spot to arrive in sweltering heat…this takes a bit of beating!!
