The athletes who will take part in this year's Bike Odyssey will have the opportunity to cycle in an area with a rich history. In the area of Tithorea, the Photian city of the same name was located since ancient times. According to Herodotus the inhabitants of the surrounding cities that were destroyed by the Persian army of Xerxes fled to this area and created Tithorea. After the removal of the Persians the Phocaeans fortified their city and parts of the ancient city walls will be seen by the cyclists during the race.
