Fabulous way to see and experience Eastern Crete

Aegean Discovery: Cycling through Eastern Crete

Our group of 6 friends enjoyed the challenge of cycling Eastern Crete.
Electric bikes helped us climb the rugged mountains where the scenery was breathtaking.
The tour took us to busy towns and quiet villages; Past turquoise waters and hills covered in spring flowers or olive trees.
We saw sheep and goats. Smelt the wild herbs growing on the side of the road.
We ate slow cooked lamb and a variety of fish. Creamy yoghurt and local honey. Wild greens, fresh salads Cretan pies and gyros.
The freshly squeezed orange juice is a must.
The Cretan hospitality is amazing - including dessert and Raki!
Everything went as planned. The app was accurate. Luggage transfers were on time.
This is a great way to see the real Crete.
But beware. Crete is hilly.

Greek island adventure

Greek Island Adventure by Bike and Sail

Boat was great! Crew and staff were amazing especially Lina our cruise director and Alex our bike guide.
The food was good and healthy but all meals were served buffet style which was a disappointment considering the pictures on the website and the fact that we were on a luxury boat.
The company needs to do more work to organize itself for bike tours. The trips were not well planned out in advance, there were a few minor breakdowns, only one guide, there were not enough paniers for all the riders and there was a daily expectation for us to return to the boat for lunch each day. This is difficult when rides start mid-day. The staff were very good at revising tours on the spot based on comments of participants and providing us with sandwiches some days.
Also not ideal was the fact that there were office staff and owner family and friends who did not mix with the paying passengers, even when we tried to engage with them. They were not cyclists and spent their days in the ports sightseeing and had 2 tables exclusively reserved for each meal on the boat. When one of our American friends tried to sit at their table the person said “no Americans”. This was very rude and disconcerting. It made the experience on the boat a little weird.
We were supposed to go through Corinth, but the canal was closed just before our trip so this was disappointing, but not the fault of the company. The boat had to travel much farther than originally planned and travelled often overnight.
All in all it was not quite what we were expecting, but we loved the boat, we had excellent service and we made lasting friendships with other participants.
