Is Panormo good for cycling?
Panormo is an excellent place to use as a base for your cycling tours and training. It is recommended both for mountain biking and road cycling. Although it is located right next to the highway and Talea Mountains which rise as a big wall on the west, there are various tours to follow especially after you reach Perama the main town of the area. From here you can start also for the biggest climbs of Crete up to the north slopes of Psiloritis Mountains.
All the bike tours that we provide on this page follow small and quite low traffic back roads. We avoid riding on the north Cretan high way on which cycling is not allowed.
