Summary:
We did a fantastic cycling tour with Cycling Creta—me, my 11-year-old son, and his friend. The e-bikes were top quality, making the ride easy even on climbs. Our friendly and passionate guide made the experience even better.
We stopped for local snacks and coffee, visited a beautiful cave, and learned about olive cultivation at the guide’s own field. The views were incredible—I could do this every day!
Highly recommended for all ages and levels. A perfect way to explore Crete!

Summary:
I'm a very experienced mountain biker, but this was my first ride using an e-bike. My wife doesn't ride much, does not ride off road and had never ridden an e-bike before.
I had corresponded via e-mail with Stelios before we reached Crete and he'd answered all my questions and put my mind at ease.
Ride was to start at 9am, so got there about 15 minutes before that to get bikes, helmets and water sorted out. Michailis (sorry for probable incorrect spelling) was our guide and he did all the sorting out. The bikes (Cube) and helmets (Specialized) were in good condition.
7 in our group, plus guide. Mixed abilities. Guide very knowledgeable and stopped at various points to brief us. Answered all questions. Also made sure we always had sufficient water.
Most riding was either on quiet tarmac roads or dirt roads. No singletrack. No challenges for an experienced rider, the inexperienced riders coped without incident. Did not encounter much traffic and vehicles were never a problem. The scenery was great throughout. Some nice, fast descents, which you were encouraged to ride at your own pace. The e-bikes made short work of the uphills and everyone was able to get up them without difficulty. You do still have to pedal, but the bikes do all the hard work.
Cafe stop in small village was nice.
4 hours elapsed time, with around 2 1/2 hours of actual ride time. So, most of the ride completed before the highest temperatures of the day.
For me, this was the highlight of our week in Crete. My wife also really enjoyed - and now wants an e-bike. So, this could prove to be a very expensive trip!
