Cycling in Greece

Greece, between sea and myth

Greece's reputation as a nation rich in culture, history and natural wonders lends itself perfectly to cycle tourism. Crete and the Cyclades, in particular, offer the best of the country's assets, between rugged peaks, white sandy beaches and archaeological sites revealing the glory of ancient Greece. By bike, take the time to appreciate this wealth, stopping to enjoy the pleasures of your senses, moving at your own pace through these exceptional places! 

Pedal from island to island

The Cyclades, an archipelago of over 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 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 real treasure trove for cyclists. Its varied landscapes range 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 Minoan civilization, including the palace of Knossos.

 

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

The beautiful regions surrounding these cities are sure to delight, with a variety of landscapes, climates and gastronomic specialties that promise a memorable stay.

Once in Greece, why not kick off your trip with a few days in Athens, or end it with a relaxing weekend on the island of Mykonos after a few weeks on the bike? Contact our agents to find out more about our customization options!
