Cycling Under the Stars: Railbiking Tour for After-Dark Adventure in Megara
Activity Description
An evening after-dark rail biking tour in Megara, Greece, is a fascinating way to explore the unique history and natural beauty of the area. The tour is led by an experienced guide who will take you on a journey through time, weaving together tales of ancient myth and modern history.
The tour begins with a ride through the beautiful countryside, where you'll take in the stunning scenery and lush vegetation. As the sun sets and the darkness descends, the tour takes on a new dimension, and the stories come to life.
The first story of the tour starts by visiting a 400BC archeological site accessible only by railbikes. You will discover a story about the mythical king of Megara called Kar.
Live the myth of Skyron and Theseus. The guide will recount the tale of the legendary Greek hero Theseus, who defeated the notorious bandit Skyron by throwing him off a cliff into the sea below. As you rail biking along the same cliffside, you'll be transported back in time to the era of ancient Greece, and you'll gain a new appreciation for the power of myth and legend.

The highlight of the tour is a visit to a unique and breathtaking natural feature. The guide will take you to a secluded spot where you can marvel at the beauty of hidden mineral reflections visible only by night, surrounded by rich flora and we might see some wild goats if we are lucky.
