Self-guided 8-day Eastern Crete Cycling Tour Level 3

Overview

Crete is rightly considered to be one of the most beautiful destinations in Greece. This tour combines history, culture, mountains, beaches, lakes, good food, lots of raki and Cretan music! You will begin in Heraklion, the capital, and you will follow the coast passing through Agios Nikolaos, Ierapetra, Tsoutsouros and finally Rethymno. On the way you will visit the most important archaeological sites of Crete, Knossos and Phaestos, the impressive remains of the Minoan civilization which flourished about 4000 years ago. In addition you will have the chance to relax by the beach, taste the local food in the numerous taverns and restaurants, but mostly just immerse yourself in Cretan hospitality. This tour is of moderate difficulty. It is created for recreational cyclists; however, you must have a standard/good level of fitness to feel comfortable. The daily distance is around 50km and the daily total climb averages no more than 700m with the exception of one day (860m). Of course in case you will need help, we provide 24h telephone support so we will step in and help.
