Reach the heights of the gods

Visiting Crete means discovering peaceful Greece, the birthplace of Zeus, nestled between mountain peaks and ocean tides. Explore Heraklion and its fortifications, Chania and its beautiful harbor, and the rocky peaks that rise toward the sky in the center of the island, including Mount Ida, which watches over Crete from its height of 2,456 meters.

It will come as no surprise to learn that climbers will be delighted by this trip and its 800 m of daily elevation gain, which will make your naps in the shade of the olive trees even sweeter! Experience the Mediterranean at its best, in a relaxing setting where the quiet roads of Crete will give free rein to your most beautiful cycling exploits!
