Big and exciting battles are expected for the athletes who will take part in this year's Bike Odyssey, in order to take the leader’s jersey.
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.
Like every year the residences of Kato Tithorea are impatiens
to held in their area Bike Festival 2023 and they are going to help the organisers as volunteers.
And the 3 days of the races will exist continuous reporting and immediate
announcement of the intermediate times in at least 3 points
