Experience the breath-taking view from the Chortiatis Mountain.
Chortiatis is a suburb in the region of Thessaloniki known for its great history going back to the 5th century BC. In less than half an hour’s drive from the city. It is located at an altitude of 600m, in the foothills of the Cissus or Chortiatis mountain, rising to an elevation of approximately 1200m, and is one of the most recognizable natural landmarks in the region.

What's a typical ride with us
This ride is the perfect escape to nature and calmness. Breathtaking view of the region in a mountain scenery.
We meet at the designated meeting point in the village of Chortiatis 30 minutes before our departure, where we make the final bike checks and adjustments according to every rider’s needs. The essential parts of your latest-technology bikes (suspensions, brakes, motor. Etc.) are pointed out to give you a better understanding of the gear and its endless capabilities.
This is a 360° EMTB tour of the mountain !! We start pedalling directly from the meeting point all the way up to the peak, passing through the different types of forests. Apart from the astonishing scenery we get to see some stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including the Thermaic Gulf to the southeast and the plains of Thessaloniki to the southwest. The SEO Shelter of Chortiatis is a traditional shelter perfectly tuned in the natural terrain. Perfect place to stop for a snack. After the stop we start declining all the way back to the village. The mountain offers versatile declines. Anything from wide forest roads for the tranquility lovers, to gravity and flow trails that will boost your adrenaline.
