This is day 8 of my bike tour from Greece to England. This cycling vlog covers the day’s cycling from Kanali Beach to Parga. It was a more challenging day due to the hills on the west coast. This was more than rewarded though, when I arrived at Hotel Acrothea in Parga. A beautiful hotel in a great location!
