CRETANIZATION

 

Five unique round bike trips at selected areas of Crete for the cooler months of the year.

Cretanization is recommended only for mountainbike and road cyclists. It is recommended for the cooler months February, March, April, October and November.

What makes it different

Each tour is a round mtb trip at completely different areas of Crete.
Every day we drive with the car to remote areas and do some of the best round trips in Crete.
Every tour and a completely different experience .

Philosophy

Cretanization is a collection of bike tours in order to get a complete view of Crete. We do not do five bike tours at the same area. Crete is a big island and we want to show you all the different landscapes and aspects of our island and all this in compination with taste our cuisine and explore our culture.

What about the weather

We created this bike tours especially for the cooler months. Our aim is to offer you an unforgettable cycling experience. Ιn case the weather is not ideal at the places that we plan to cycle, we will visit another area in order to find the best possible weather conditions.
