Greece Trip Overview
The beautiful island will present itself to you from a completely different perspective. Crete consists of 85% mountains and thus the e-bike is the most suitable means of transport to travel the island in a sporty, but at the same time, leisurely way. You will cycle through the touristically neglected inland with its endless vineyards and olive groves, visit centenarian trees, small chapels and picturesque villages and experience the hospitality of the old and young Cretans up close, accompanied by a local guide.
