Sparta to Kokkala and Cape Tainaron, Greece – this is the Southern most point on the European continent.  Initially good roads then narrow, winding and a rough surface, one lane through the villages but no traffic, beautiful views of the sea.

Kokkala – tiny village in a beautiful spot overlooking the ocean. I rode to Cape Tainaron, after the road ends at a small village there is a 2km walk over rocks (no defined path) to the end of the peninsula. After I fell a couple of times I decided to go back, a young French guy helped me, thank you. In 2016 I went past the Eastern most point in Europe when I travelled across Russia. In 2022 I visited the Western most point in Portugal and in 2023 I visited the Northern most point in Norway, both of these places are popular tourist attractions with hundreds of people travelling there from all over Europe. Greece has not taken advantage of this opportunity.
