7–11 April 2027 · Naxos, Greece
3 days exploring the back roads
A small-group off-road tour of the biggest island in the Cyclades, led by Jørgen Mellem. Mountain tracks, marble villages, empty beaches—and routes you won’t find on a rental map.
THE TOUR
Ride like a local
[INTRO — 2–3 sentences in Jørgen’s voice. Why April is the best time to ride Naxos (green hills, empty roads, cool temperatures), what makes the island great for enduro, and the feel of the group: small, friendly, unhurried.]
[SECOND PARAGRAPH — who it’s for: riders comfortable on gravel and loose climbs who want a few days of proper riding with good food at the end of each day.]
ITINERARY
Day by day
Routes may change on the day for weather, trail conditions or the group’s pace — Jørgen will always have a gentler alternative and a harder one.
