The PPC Cycling Tour of Greece 2023 is a fact!

A few days left until the first start of the great sports event for our country which this year will start with a Prologue on 2/5 in Heraklion and Karteros Beach Sports Center and will end after 4 exciting routes in Ancient Olympia on May 6!

20 teams, 120 athletes will throw themselves into the battle of this year’s Round against the backdrop of the vast blue of Greece.

Beyond the purely competitive part that concerns professional and national teams of high level and their athletes, with the Parallel Actions of the PPC Cycling Tour of Greece you can become part of the history that the Tour writes!

An event that was revived with the undivided support of the Deputy Ministry of Sports with the aim of putting Greece back in the forefront of organizing major sporting events. In fact, at the Heraklion Cycle Tour on 4/30, Deputy Minister Lefteris Avgenakis will cycle with the participants, and of course he will be present at the events of the PPC Cycle Tour.

With the triptych “Sports – Movement – Entertainment” Cycling Greece prepared this year’s parallel events.

The aim is to play sports together, to pass important social messages such as that of inclusion, to have fun and gradually introduce cycling into our lives safely and carefully.

In Heraklion and at the Karteros Beach Sports Center on the morning of the Parallel Events, where students from Heraklion schools will also participate, the Prologue will be held, i.e. the individual time trial of the athletes participating in the Round! So the attendees will have the opportunity to see the spectacular match.

In Kalamata and Kyparissia, the participants in the Parallel Events and those present at the finishing points will enjoy the impressive finishes of the 2nd and 3rd stages! A great cycling celebration with a high-level racing spectacle.

At the same time, many small gifts and souvenirs will be given to our little friends.
