The annual Athens Orthopedic Clinic
Twilight Criterium occurs in Spring. A
criterium race is shorter in circuit on
dedicated off-road or closed-off inner city

and participating countries race through the
Athens streets. Meanwhile, there’s a block
party where the bars and restaurants are
bustling, and live music drifts over the streets
that come alive with spectators cheering on
the amazing cycling vibe.
