Nice bike ride to Marmari beach. The island of Kos is very cyclist friendly. The sea is just wonderful on this beach, nice waves, but unfortunately a bit too much wind

May 12, 2025,Lange Hausrunde Marmari-Kostown

Today's summary: a perfect day for a longer ride, 24 degrees Celsius and a slight haze.
With a good bike from my trusted rental company, Action Moto Rent, the longer route was no problem today.
On the route from Tigaki to Kostown, you can notice that the traffic is gradually increasing.
Two must-sees along the route are: 1. The farmers' …

Oh, how beautiful it is here again, the landscape, the people. A year ago, the little kiosk by the road still had a selection of all sorts of strange books. You can read about them, for example, in the sexual preferences of Australian students if you look at my tour from last year. Today, it's just rocks.
There aren't many …

Marmari probably won't wake up for about two weeks, but right now it was still very empty. So, on my home tour, I can skip the last stretch and only drive as far as the salt lake. It's unbelievable that it was completely dry last fall, and the landscape looked like it was covered in a thick layer of snow. …

From Marmari, we started with a leisurely ride along the coastal cycle path towards Kos Town.

Then came the climb up to the Asklepieion; the extensive ancient site is absolutely impressive and worth it just for the fantastic panoramic view over the island and the sea.

Today's weather forecast predicted a mix of clouds, sun and rain. And so it was. The best conditions for a vegi-bio bike tour (without an e-bike, but with gears; better than a vegan bio-bike, which is then without everything, no e-motor, no gears - no wheels).
Quickly plugged together a small tour with Komoot and off we went.
The route …
