Extreme gravel tour through Crete

Start your adventure at the Historical Museum of Crete, where you can take in the history of the island before leaving the city. You bike past the Agios Minas Cathedral, an impressive building symbolizing the Cretan struggle for freedom.

After a short ride, you reach the Martinengo Bastion, the final resting place of Nikos Kazantzakis, Crete's most famous writer and thinker. His life story stays with you as you continue.

The route takes you through expansive olive groves and vineyards towards Loutra, where you can catch your breath in a luxury villa with a swimming pool. Here you enjoy the view over the green hills.

The return journey is a challenge: 2073 meters of climbing on well-maintained paths, with the occasional steep section. The contrast between asphalt and gravel keeps you sharp, and the silence of the Cretan landscape completes the adventure.
