Hi Anna
Is the “Calendar events” for 2019 or is it historical?
I arrive on the island from CapeTown for Greek Easter & am considering cycling the “Bike Challenge” – I would like to confirm dates and can’t seem to do this on their FB page & their web portal seems to be sleeping.
Hope you’re keeping warm!
Vangelis
Thank you for your message, it was for 2018, qwe are slowly creating a 2019 one, keep checking our posts! I have contacted the Bike challenge as well and I had no answer,
If I have any news I will inform you.
Thanks
Anna
