I'm struggling for ideas for another European tour this summer and so I decided to search for the greatest cycling roads in Europe. The thought of basing a tour around these roads seems quite appealing.
The best info I could find were these which are a bit vague http://away.com/top_picks/eurobikes.adp

If possile I guess I was looking for something a bit more specfic, an actual road would do nicely. Traffic free/light, beautiful scenery and off the beaten track is what I'm looking for in a road. I'm thinking Northern Greece may have something to offer. Anything from mountain passes, sweeping coastal roads and flat plains considered.
I know it's a big ask but anyone here have any stand-out roads from their previous tours in Europe?
Mine were the E77 through the Tatra Mountains in Northern Solvakia (surprisingly low traffic and excellent road quality).
The E6 between Fauske and Narvik in Norway was mind blowingly beautiful and again in Norway the R763 from Steinkjer to Snasa was some of the most peaceful riding I've ever done.
