Crete Motorcycle Trip – Riding Holiday by the Sea

A Crete motorcycle trip means seven nights at the Anissaras Beach Motocamp, a rental motorcycle right outside your door, and the whole island as your playground. This self-guided Crete motorcycle tour starts right on the beach near Heraklion, and from here you plan your own route every day. Whether it's a Crete coastal motorcycle route heading east or a motorcycle week up into the mountains: arrival is possible daily, though Mondays are recommended, when the other guests also arrive. Personal airport transfer, breakfast and dinner are organised for the entire week.

Highlights

Eastern Coastal Route

This Crete coastal motorcycle route runs from Agios Nikolaos via Ierapetra to Sitia and on to the fishing village of Mochlos. Winding roads along the sea alternate with stops at fresh souvlaki stands and tavernas right on the water.

Mountain Switchbacks

These Crete switchback roads wind through small mountain villages like Mohos and Neapoli at around 1,100 metres altitude. Along the way it's worth stopping at Taverna Aristodimos, where landlady Niki still cooks herself using her own produce.

A Week at Anissaras Beach

Your Crete motorcycle week starts at the Anissaras Beach Motocamp right on the beach near Heraklion. Seven nights, daily breakfast and six wood-oven dinners form the base for your daily rides on the rental motorcycle.

Lassithi Plateau Pass

A Lassithi plateau motorcycle route climbs the eastern pass to around 1,100 metres, through hundreds of bends to Agios Nikolaos and on to the Elounda peninsula, with views of the former leprosy station of Spinalonga.

Nida Plateau & Observatory

This Anogia-Nida plateau motorcycle route runs from the hotel village of Arolitos via Anogia to the plateau where legend says Zeus was born. The detour to the Skinakas Observatory at 1,758 metres rewards experienced riders with sweeping views.
