Greece: Between the Sea and Myths

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 the country has to offer, from rugged mountain peaks to white-sand beaches and archaeological sites that reveal the glory of ancient Greece. As you cycle, take the time to appreciate this richness by stopping whenever your senses tell you to, and explore these exceptional places at your own pace! 

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 through rolling hills, all while taking in 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 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 Rethymnon and Chania, and discover the remains of the Minoan civilization, notably the Palace of Knossos.

 

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

The beautiful 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 the options for customizing your trip!
