Does anyone have any recent information about this border crossing?

Every time I put it into Google maps for routing it avoids it. Is it open? I'll be on my bicycle. Should that be a problem?

Thanks in advance

I'd suggest trying www.viamichelin.com
They've been around making maps almost since they started making tires, they may not be as high tech as google but they're often more useful. Good luck.
P.S. they have a bicycle route option....

"18/02/2016
South Evros region farmers, in yesterday's meeting, they decided to continue indefinitely shut down the action of Kipi border crossing.

Greek and Turkish side of the border in forming long queues of trucks waiting TR progress. Queues formed on the Greek side, the total length of approximately 7 kilometers.

Speaking to ANA-MPA agency Aleksandroupolis Farmers Union President Costas Alexandris, forming long queues of vehicles of this number, for farmers who wish to continue their action, managing power leads to a situation."

Bugger! Well that's annoying. It's quite a detour by bicycle to the nearest one.

Thank you so much for the advice

The article is 1 month old. There are no more road blocks by farmers.
