Greece by Bike

Greece, Between Sea and Myth

Greece’s reputation is well established as a nation rich in culture, history, and natural wonders that are perfectly suited for cycling tourism.  Crete and the Cyclades, in particular, offer the best of what the country has to offer, from rugged peaks and white-sand beaches to archaeological sites that reveal the glory of ancient Greece. On your bike, take the time to appreciate this richness by stopping wherever your senses lead you, moving 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-sand beaches, turquoise waters, and traditional villages. Cyclists can explore the islands along winding roads and rolling hills, all while enjoying views of the Aegean Sea. The Cyclades are also famous for their archaeological sites, such as the ancient city of Delos, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Crete, Greece’s largest island, is a true 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 Rethymno and Chania, and discover the remains of Minoan civilization, including the Palace of Knossos.

 

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

The stunning regions surrounding these cities are sure to take your breath away, with a variety of landscapes, climates, and culinary specialties that promise a memorable stay.

Once you’re in Greece, why not start your journey with a few days in Athens, or wrap it up with a relaxing weekend on the island of Mykonos after a few weeks of cycling? Contact our agents to learn more about how we can tailor our trips to your needs!
