Crete is the star of the show, and the route allowed us to see so much of its beauty, charm, and culture! Our bikes were top quality and we were glad of battery power since Crete has many hills and a lot of wind. Early May was a perfect choice —weather mild and no summer crowds yet. All the hotels were placed well with great views and access to restaurants and sites. I don’t know if bikes are a common thing as some hotels were not sure where to store them but everyone was friendly and we figured it out. A couple of places we found gravel and an ascent combined that meant we pushed the bikes, but the next downhill with views of that big blue sea or lovely olive tree groves in the sun more than made up for it. Be ready to hunt for the hotel a little from the endpoint if the navigation, but as the day in Crete, “it’s fine, no problem!”

A great way to experience Crete
The RWGPS app was very accurate in providing instructions since roads are not marked and the terrain is challenging. Just one area with a rocky hill is not navigable with an eBike or road bikes and it takes about 15 minutes to walk up and then down the hill

A very enjoyable , challenging cycle tour
Cycling offered a different experience every day , hotels all had very friendly staff and generally excellent. Local tour provider gave excellent support and is the best source for information pre-trip. We did the longer duration version with a day off in each town which I would highly recommend
