Ride Crete’s forest trails, riverbanks, and ancient paths on a small-group e-bike tour from Panormos with guide Manos.
“This was an ebike tour on mostly paved road through some beautiful countryside. Our guide chose an easier route for us, due to our lack of knowledge regarding the operation of the bikes. The ride could have been more of the challenging mountain bike experience if we had not needed to learn how to use the bikes first. Manos was very kind and patient with our group. The bikes and equipment were in good shape. It was a very fun day with a stop for a beverage at a local taverna.”

Cycle beyond Chania’s old town to Halepa and Tabakaria, then watch the sunset with local pastries, drinks, and a small group guide.
“The experience was wonderful. Our guide Dimitris was kind and knowledgeable. Loved talking with him as he introduced us to Chania. We got to see a lot of the town, but with regular stops so that we were never tired or out of breath 😅. We saw many neighborhoods and interesting spots and learned about the history of Chania and Crete. The beautiful sunset followed by delicious snacks and Dimitris’ amazing home distilled wine and raki were a beautiful end to our tour. My husband who is a regular biker noted that the bikes were very well maintained and great to ride. We highly recommend this tour!!!”
Ride an eBike from Rethymno to Mili Gorge and three villages, with Old Town lanes, mountain views, a guide, gear, and refreshments.

“Undoubtedly the highlight of a brilliant Crete holiday was the tour to Arkadi Monastery organised and led by the knowledgeable and professional Michalis of ebikes Rethymno. Suitable for all ages and abilities we cycled round the Rethymnon countryside making several stops at significant sites to learn for example the importance of the olive industry in the local economy and to visit buildings of historical importance.

The wine tasting was also very nice with lots of variaties to try in company of the friendly owner Fereniki. Afterwards Aris’ father dropped us at the bus stop so we could easily travel back to the hotel. We would 100% recommend this tour!”

Explore Heraklion by e-bike with Venetian walls, Koules Fortress, Cretan food, local wine, and bougatsa in a five-hour city tour.
“We had an excellent time seeing Heraklion with Alex. We love a bike tour because it keeps our four kids engaged while we are able to learn about a city. We ended up having the tour to ourselves as a family of six and Alex was very accomodating and engaging for our family's pace and interests. We learned about the city, but also just enjoyed out time. Basic bike skills are all that are required for an easy and enjoyable afternoon. Highly recommend.”
Pick a coast, a gorge or a kitchen.
