Visiting Crete means discovering the tranquil side of Greece, the birthplace of Zeus, nestled between mountain peaks and the sea. Explore Heraklion and its fortifications, Chania and its stunning harbor, as well as the rocky peaks that soar toward the sky in the center of the island, notably Mount Ida, which watches over Crete from a height of 2,456 meters.
So it should come as no surprise that climbers will be thrilled by this trip and its 800-meter daily elevation gain, which will make your naps in the shade of the olive trees even more blissful! Experience the Mediterranean at its best, in a relaxing setting where Crete’s quiet roads will let you give free rein to your most spectacular cycling moments!
