Crete · E-BIKES
The good e-bike tours fill up while you are still deciding. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes, and how they actually differ once you read past the titles.
4-hour e-bike ride through Aposelemis Canyon, villages and caves, plus olive-farm lessons and Greek coffee. Small-group, Bosch motor.
“I liked the cave the most. Second favorite part was seeing the monastery. Wish there was a little more sights to visit.”
4-hour e-bike and MTB tour in Crete from Panormos, forests and river trails, English guide, small group.
“This was an ebike tour on mostly paved road through some beautiful countryside. Our guide chose an easier route for us, due to our lack of knowledge regarding the operation of the bikes. The ride could have been more of the challenging mountain bike experience if we had not needed to learn how to use the bikes first. Manos was very kind and patient with our group. The bikes and equipment were in good shape. It was a very fun day with a stop for a beverage at a local taverna.”
E-bike through Rethymno countryside to Myli Gorge, hike and abandoned watermills, then enjoy a family taverna lunch on Crete.
“This tour was wonderful! We learned so much about the history of the area and Cretan culture. The biking was easy and felt safe. The food was delicious and the landscapes were beautiful. I really can’t say enough good things about it!”
Rethymno eBike tour to Mili Gorge and nearby villages. Glide through Old Town alleys, learn Cretan culture, and get bike gear plus refreshments.
“Loved the experience! Beautiful views, nice breaks. Highly recommend you to take some.water with you/ put spf on, sunglasses and maybe a hat. We caught a day with max 24 C and it was still so sunny and warm.”
E-bike ride from Rethymno to Arkadi Monastery, 44 km with coastal views and a Cretan lunch. Small group, 6 hours.
“Great trip on Arkadi monastery tour. Michalis was an excellent guide and host, sharing lots of interesting information about crete and its culture. The eBikes made the up hills easy, and the monastery was fascinating. After the monastery a long sweeping ride downhill through beautiful scenery, stopping for a delicious Cretan lunch at a taverna. An excellent day out and thoroughly recommended.”
Rethymno guided e-bike through Myli Gorge, the 16th-century Halevi Monastery, a village soft-drink break, and Roussospiti views.
“Yiannis and Konstantinos were great guides and looked after 2 inexperienced cyclists very well! Their knowledge of the area and culture brought the beauty of the scenery to life.”
4-hour small-group e-bike tour from Analipsi, Crete, mixing coastline riding, village lanes, off-road tracks, and Greek coffee.
“Alles was goed. twas een hele leuke rit . Heel mooie plaatsen geweest waar je anders niet komt. kortom zeker een aanrader voor wie sportief het eiland eens wil verkennen 😉”
Ride eco e-bikes from Chania to Agia Lake, through olive groves and vineyards. Small group, 5 hours, local guide.
“Look no further and book this tour! Reinier was a fantastic guide. Personable, very funny, and knowledgeable. It was the most enjoyable tour we've done in Chania and probably one of the most enjoyable we've ever done. The e-bikes made the whole day so easy, especially in the heat. Fresh air, stunning scenery, and lots of hidden gems. We loved it :)”
Ride a HAIBIKE e-bike from Heraklion toward Dafnes vineyards, then taste 4 Cretan wines with cheese, olives, and rusks.
“We liked the tour so much! Aris is a great guide and takes the time to answer all questions. He made sure everyone was at ease the whole ride and added extra stops when necessary. The wine tasting was also very nice with lots of variaties to try in company of the friendly owner Fereniki. Afterwards Aris’ father dropped us at the bus stop so we could easily travel back to the hotel. We would 100% recommend this tour!”
E-bike Chania highlights with Koum Kapi beach views, Botanika tastings, the Armenis knife factory, and Nea Chora culture, about 4 to 5 hrs.
Chania ebike eco tour with Lake Agias, a river-side Cretan snack, and a north-coast ride back to town, for small groups.
“Great tour. Nikkos was a wonderful guide. Saw things in the area we would not have seen otherwise. Really enjoyable.”
A small-group e-bike tour from Heraklion through Cretan villages and vineyards, ending with a Siva wine tasting and a taxi back.
“The experience was great. Aries (hope I’m spelling your name correctly) gave a thorough description of how to work the bikes and just the right amount of information about landmarks and the natural landscape. Dafnes winery was very nice and the wine was delicious, rivaling many Italian, Australian and Californian wines. And the history and stories that accompanied the wine added to the experience, as well as the yummy snacks. Be prepared to cycle up some steep hills, but a basic familiarity with e-bikes and riding is sufficient. Most of the ride is on country, quiet roads… about the first 3km is on busy roads within the city.”
Ride an e-bike through Rethymno’s old city, hitting Venetian harbor views, fountains, mosques, and Fortezza castle, with an English guide.
“Het was een fijne tour die met name door de smalle straatjes van de binnenstad ging. Het was fijn om op een elektrische fiets te rijden omdat je ook naar de acropolis (fort op de berg) fietst. We hadden ook een leuke gids (Jannis) die veel wist te vertellen.”
Ride Crete by e-bike on a 3-hour loop from Ammoudara into hill villages like Stavrakia and Agios Myron, ending with a beach swim.
“It was a wonderful and scenic ride on country roads past olive groves and vineyards, overlooking the beautiful Cretan landscape, up to a lovely hilltop village. Our guide, Aris, did a great job of preparing us to ride and giving us suggestions along the way for shifting gears as we approached the more challenging parts of the excursion.”
Guided electric mountain bike tour in West Crete to Polyrrhenia in a small group, with equipment included and help from English guides.
“We had a great time! We did the 3-hour E-bike tour from Chania. Miltos, our guide, was super knowledgeable about the history, environment, and terrain of the area. He was like an encyclopedia. Our group included multiple 30-somethings and my mom in her early 70s. We all did decently on the bike ride thanks to the help from the e-bike. We highly recommend the tour! It was easy from booking to the end of the tour.”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
