EuroVelo cycle route EV 8 Mediterranean route over 4,313 km

Date: 26 Feb 2015

The EuroVelo cycle route EV 8 Mediterranean Route is a frequently requested route. However, in large parts not (finally) realized, in some countries not even in the approach as a bike path to recognize. From the available gps tracks, supplemented by self-made sections according to descriptions in the concept document of the EV8, the biroto editorial team has put together a 4,313 km long route from Athens to Castell-Platja d'Aro in Catalonia. The route appears to be ridable according to the aerial maps scanned during the creation. With 88 biker-friendly accommodations, 54 tourist information, 61 sights and 13 infrastructure POIs, the tour book is a decent feature and, as far as we can tell from our research, is the only available bike tour guide for the EV8 at all. However, the cyclist-friendly accommodations are very unevenly distributed over the route. Unfortunately, from Athens to the Slovenian-Italian border, there are only six at 2,200 km, where we found the criteria for cyclist friendliness.
