The International Tour of Hellas is a road bicycle racing stage race. It consists of five stages and is usually held between April and May.[1] The race was first held in 1968 as the Antiquities Trophy, and was later known as the Tour of Hellas (or Greece). The race was held sporadically from 1968 until 2012. The Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) made the race part of the UCI Europe Tour in 2005; the race had previously been held as an amateur event.[2] The race was revived in 2022 as a category 2.1 event on the UCI Europe Tour.[3][4]
