Naxos. Rented mountain bikes. Cycled up through pretty Melanes, onto tracks to Flerio to look at the kouroi. On up the road to Kynidaros for coffee in a little cafe by the main road watchng all village life going on around us. On tracks over to Agios Artemios valley. Tried to follow a path (on the map) which degenerated into an olive terrace. Persisted across the river and hauled the bikes up a very rocky hillside. Kept being pushed further up by a high fence, after about an hour battered through to the path. Then a long search for the path to Eggares, which we now weren't sure existed. Some olive farmers confirmed it did exist, but it still took a while to find. Lovely once we got on it though, mostly cyclable path down an uninhabited gorge to Eggares. Then roads to Chora.
