The 4 Best Bike Tours in Crete

1.Half-Day Quad Bike Safari

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,444 reviews · 4 hours · from $70Our pick

Ride an automatic quad from Rethymno into the Maroulas mountains, across dusty tracks and shallow water, with guides such as Nikolas and Jorgos. Stop at Café Gidospito above Lake Potami, visit Prassies, and enjoy water and a sandwich. Shared quads are standard, so book separately for solo riding.

“This was super fun! A ride up into the high mountains around Rethymno. Our guide was nice and kept a good eye to make sure everyone was OK. Biggest tip is to buy the buffs they sell for 2 bucks. There is a lot of dirt along the way and the people that didn't have them were having a hard time.”

“Nice easy ride throughout Old Chania. Our guide Dimetrius was very knowledgeable about the history of Crete. Very will to let you ask questions. Stopped for a small break and had a protein bar and a homemade lemon drink. Our tour actually ended a half an hour later because he was so interesting to listen to. Recommend this tour”
