Cross Crete Drive & Bike

Crete.  Greece’s largest island.  Greece’s most southern island.  Greece’s most strategically located island in the middle of the eastern Mediterranean Sea.

Let us count a few ways visitors to Crete are rewarded when they devote a week or so traveling across the long island.

Healthy Cretan cuisine derived from local produce, like fresh goat’s cheese and barley based “paximadi“
The palace cities of the Minoan Empire:: Knossos, Malia, Zakros, Phaestos
A dynamic wine industry with vineyards in the same sites as millennia ago
Monumental olive trees, so big they take several people to embrace one
Cretans have enormous hearts that fuel their famed hospitality
Spectacular scenery: green, green mountains set to a blue, blue sea
Uniquely Cretan songs, musical instruments and dances
When you see Crete by bike you absorb it all in slow motion. And when you combine the trip with a vehicle, then you can reach even more precious places and even criss-cross Crete.
