Piraeus

At the same time, the city showcases its contemporary identity. Cutting-edge festivals, art exhibitions, urban innovation conferences, and international sports and cultural events reveal their dynamic spirit. Athens is changing every day, together with those who love it.

Piraeus – Syntagma

146.5 km | Elevation gain: 1,381 m

The grand finale of the 2026 ΔΕΗ Tour of Hellas.

The roll-out is a postcard: Pasalimani, Votsalakia, Mikrolimano, and the Peace & Friendship Stadium—an opening that no one wants to end. Kilometer 0 is given at Flisvos, with the Athens Riviera once again taking center stage.

A right turn brings the first intermediate sprint at Glyfada Marina, before the race returns to the main avenue for the Avance Mile at the famous Limanakia.
Left towards Anavyssos and on to Keratea for the second intermediate sprint, before passing through the picturesque village of Kouvaras, where the day’s only KOM appears on its narrow streets (Cat. 3 KOM).

A descent through pine forest leads back to the sea at Avlaki harbour. The route drops towards Galazia Akti, returns to the coastal road, passes the “Karamanlis tunnels”, then turns towards Ilioupoli for the third intermediate sprint.

Then it’s time for Athens.

A 6.5 km city-centre circuit is raced three times, showcasing the capital’s landmarks: the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Syntagma, Omonia, the University, Parliament, the Runner, and the Panathenaic Stadium.

The finish is once again in front of the Hellenic Parliament—an iconic backdrop for the winner of 2026.
