RIDING IN THE DARK IS AN UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE!
THE URBAN ENVIRONMENT OF THIS MEDITERRANEAN CITY IS SURROUNDED BY THE FOREST OF SEICH SOU. ITS HISTORY GOES ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE OTTOMAN PERIOD. IT IS THE LARGEST SUBURBAN FOREST IN GREECE, 30.000 ACRES COVERED MAINLY BY PINES, CONSTITUTING THE MAIN GREEN “LUNG” OF THE CITY. IT INCLUDES NUMEROUS TRAILS AND FOREST ROADS, COVERING THE WHOLE FOREST FROM THE EASTERN BORDERS OF THE CITY ALL THE WAY TO THE WEST, OFFERING ASTONISHING VIEWS OF THE AEGEAN SEA.

ITINERARY
What’s a typical ride with us
Seich Sou is a forest with roads & trails fitting every ride & fitness level. We can pick n choose to create your ride.
THE STARTING POINT
01.
01.
We meet at Trail Tales Base 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.
Every rider receives the necessary protection gear (helmet, gloves and knee protectors). In less than 5 minutes from our base, we enter Seich Sou and take the route cut out just for you and your friends. Before we start pedaling up the hills, we have an important briefing on the basic principles of E-Mountain Biking (bike stance, breaking, pedal efficiency etc).

We start inclining through the forest to reach its highest points and enjoy the view from the observatory. We take advantage of the magical moments and offer you a snack to keep you going. A little bit of flat ground pedaling and start descending our way back. The kind of Descending is entirely up to you. We offer relaxed descends through forest roads and wide flowy trails appropriate for beginners, providing time to enjoy the view and the calmness of the outdoors, or we go down adrenaline singletrack trails for the experienced MTB riders.
We finish the ride back at the Trail Tales base, with the necessary snacks and drinks available for your recovery, and maybe plan your next adventure!
