Greece by bike

Greece, between sea and myths

Greece's reputation is well established, as it is a nation rich in culture, history, and natural wonders that lend themselves perfectly to cycle touring.  Crete and the Cyclades, in particular, offer the best of the country's assets, from rugged peaks and white sandy beaches to archaeological sites revealing the glory of ancient Greece. On your bike, take the time to appreciate this wealth by stopping whenever your senses desire, advancing at your own pace through these exceptional places! 

Cycle from island to island

The Cyclades, an archipelago of more than 200 islands, are renowned for their white sandy beaches, turquoise waters, and traditional villages. Cyclists can explore the islands via winding roads and hills, while admiring the views of the Aegean Sea. The Cyclades are also famous for their archaeological sites, such as the ancient city of Delos, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Crete, Greece's largest island, is a real treasure trove for cyclists. It offers a variety of landscapes, ranging from sandy beaches to rugged mountains, deep gorges and pine forests. Cyclists can explore the island's traditional villages, such as Rethymnon and Chania, and discover the remains of the Minoan civilization, including the Palace of Knossos.

 

Well connected from Quebec, Greece offers several possible entry points: Athens, of course, but also Thessaloniki, Piraeus, and Heraklion.

The magnificent regions surrounding these cities are sure to impress you, with a variety of landscapes, climates, and culinary specialties that promise a memorable stay.

Once in Greece, why not start your journey with a few days in Athens, or end it with a relaxing weekend on the island of Mykonos after a few weeks of cycling? Contact our agents to find out about the options for customizing our trips!
