  • Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete
    (5/5) Darcy B 6 months ago

    The perfect way to enjoy Crete!

    · Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete

    The route was very scenic as we cycled along parts of the north and south coastline. The hills challenged us as we cycled up but then we were rewarded with fabulous long glides downhill.
    The hotels were well situated near beaches and town centres.
    The TO staff were available when we had some questions regarding the route and the Ride with GPS

    Beautiful Crete

    · Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete

    This trip is not for the inexperienced traveler. Crete roads aren't really very bike friendly and some of the areas on the route were a bit insane. The tour company staff was very friendly. The island was lovely, and the locals were great. 5 of the 6 motels were nice. There was a lot of climbing, and the island is very windy.

    · · Enchanting Cyclades and Saronic Islands

    I felt like a kid again, riding through amazing landscapes, swimming in the sea, sleeping under the stars, and laughing tell it hurt while playing games on deck. Our guide was charming, engaging, accommodating, and hilarious and the crew was attentive, friendly, and fun, constantly scanning the conditions to ensure our route was safe and enjoyable. The food was delicious; abundant, varied, and authentic. And I met fabulous people with whom I continue to share my travels. This was a life changing trip.

    Exploring Rhodes on an e bike is an amazing way to see the island

    We got to see so many beautiful areas of Rhodes. The tour guide stopped us at multiple beautiful sites to take pictures. We enjoyed being on the bike and fresh air! The best way to experience Rhodes in my opinion

  • Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete
    (5/5) Hugh M. 6 months ago

    Maybe our 6th trip with biketours…

    · Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete

    …and it continued to exceed expectations: attentive trip planning with Mariam Thrazashvili - something like 37 e-mails to pick best week for weather in Crete, nail down extra days, detour to Matala, etc. That’s a lot for a 25 euro booking fee! Local outfitter ARCAS had excellent support, well-chosen hotels (best: Pepi Boutique Hotel in Rethymno, and the one in Toufoulofari). Had a couple flat tires on the e-bikes (take note: some tough climbs; we’re casual bikers, e-bikes change your whole attitude about hills - but the subsequent downhills are glorious!) and the gears were a bit wonky but I managed. The GPS turn-by-turn routing was idiot proof - there was one stretch where the route was misregistered so it was 20-30 meters away from true position, but I gave ARCAS feedback and they have corrected it. (Could not print out the 36 pages of trip notes - and neither could the local rep of ARCAS - broke his printer - file size too big.). The views are spectacular! Highly recommend!

    Beautiful views and wonderful hospitality.

    · Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete

    We enjoyed this trip immensely. The views are fabulous and the food is delicious. The people of Crete are very friendly and accomodating. The trip is not overly challenging but an ebike is a worthy investment. Ride with GPS works well but don't follow it blindly. If it is taking you somewhere that you aren't happy about, don't hesitate to zooout and look for an alternative route. Highly recommended tour.

    One of the best vacations of my life

    · · Cultural Splendors of the Peloponnese and Saronic Isles E-bike and Boat

    Experiencing the beautiful Greek Islands by boat and bike with a fabulous group of people on a wonderful boat with food that was delicious - what a trip! Words I'd use to express the crew include loving, caring, fun, always giving their best, working around the clock, AMAZING. The chef and food were extraordinary, every meal was a delight. The Captain carefully arranged destinations to offer us the best possible experiences. The guides were safety conscious and just fabulous. We were cared for in a way that is hard to describe. I would happily travel with this group and specifically with these people anytime, anywhere.

    Fantastic tour!

    · · Cultural Splendors of the Peloponnese and Saronic Isles E-bike and Boat

    My best trip in 20 years! This is not to detract from past trips but this Greece tour was well executed. The staff (8) made each of our 17 participants (all friends) feel individually special.
    The meals were excellent with variety and abundance - lots of Greek style dishes, diversity of fish, beef, lamb, ham, fruits, vegetables, etc.
    The guides - Chrysa and Marylou- kept the group informed, gave excellent bike tours, and adjusted the itinerary when needed. What a comedy team! They work so well together and we had so many laughs! The swimming at various beaches and off the boat was a highlight. The boat was beautiful, spacious for the group and comfortable. We thought the rooms were adequately sized as compared to other tours we’ve been on. Climate control was good in the rooms although the cool nights made sleeping easy. There was some mild diesel smell in some of the rooms but opening the portholes and running the room fans took care of that odor - which mostly resulted from wind direction or docking . The bad mattresses were firm but in excellent condition. The bikes were in excellent shape and got all of us up the hills without depleting the batteries. The service crew always made sure the rooms were daily cleaned and any of our needs were met. They were outstanding! The scenery was just so beautiful! If you like boats, great food, excellent staff, exercise and good views, don’t pass up on this excellent trip!

    A great way to experience Crete

    · Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern 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
