A 182 Kilometre network of mountain cycling routes is being developed on Kythera by the Kytherian Foundation for Culture & Development (\u039a\u0399\u03a0\u0391), contributing to the promotion of the island as a destination for adventure tourism<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe purpose of the programme is to create an integrated network of individual, inter-connected and circular mountain bike routes of various levels throughout the island. These routes will operate autonomously but also complementary to the network of Kythera trails, canyoning and Via Ferrata.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tApart from the development of cycling routes, the programme also includes activities for their promotion, which culminate with a cycling race scheduled for October 2022.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThis programme is an important aspect of the Foundation\u2019s vision for the sustainable tourism development of Kythera. The goal is not only to diversify and enrich the tourist profile of Kythera, but also to best utilise the natural and cultural wealth of the island. In this way, Kythera strengthens its identity and attracts visitors outside the tourist season throughout the whole island, thus expanding employment and entrepreneurship opportunities.\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
