Discover the mystical Mount Ainos on a downhill mountain biking tour

For an exhilarating bike tour of Mount Ainos with the added benefit of bike rental, look no further. Located 30km from Argostoli and the tallest mountain in Kefalonia, Mount Ainos is known locally as Monte Nero, or “Black Mountain”. It earned its nickname during the Venetian period for the dense population of Kefalonia Fir trees, renowned for the dark coloring that gives the mountain an eerie, magical mystique.

Your guided day tour follows a dirt track down through Ainos National Park, winding you through dense, atmospheric forest roamed by mysterious wild horses. From the peak, you’ll be stunned by panoramic views over this majestic island and its rugged, beautiful coastline. Then, it's an exciting downhill bike ride to the base, where your guide will transfer you back to the starting point.
