Guided Crete Tour – Rental Motorbike Included

A Crete motorcycle tour with guide means: arrive, saddle up, ride off. After a personal pickup at Heraklion airport, you check into your room at the Anissaras Beach Motocamp right on the north coast. Over a shared dinner, your tour guide runs through the first leg of the Crete motorcycle tour before you swing onto your rental motorcycle the next morning. This Crete motorbike holiday combines winding mountain passes with off-road tracks and quiet coastal stretches. Riders chasing Crete's famous hairpin bends will love it, as will anyone keen to explore the island off the beaten track.

Highlights

Lassithi Plateau

On this leg of the Crete motorcycle tour, endless hairpin bends lead up to the Lassithi Plateau. The group takes a break at a small mountain chapel before heading back to the coast via Mohos, with its lively Greek marketplace.

Nida Plateau & Zaros

Via Anogia the route climbs into the high mountains to the Nida Plateau, where the observatory is reachable in clear weather. An off-road stretch of the Crete tour then drops down to Lake Zaros, famous for fish served fresh from the water.

Tripti Gorge Crete

Crossing the island along the Messara Plain, the Crete motorcycle tour passes through the little-known Tripti Gorge to a secluded beach – a genuine insider tip well off the main routes.

Matala & its Caves

The fishing village of Matala, with its world-famous caves, is one of the most soulful places on Crete. Once a burial site, later a hippie refuge, Matala still charms every Crete motorcycle holiday rider today.

South Coast Keratokambos

A sweeping downhill run of hairpin bends brings the combined on/off-road Crete tour to the south coast at Tsoutsouros and Keratokambos. Little tourism, long sandy beaches and excellent food make this the perfect final stop before heading home.
