Graveling through the heart of Crete

A peaceful gravel tour of about 31 kilometers through the heart of Crete, where you truly taste the atmosphere of the island. You cycle through olive groves and along villages that have retained their authentic Cretan charm.

Start in Analipsi, a cozy seaside village with wide sandy beaches and a lively center full of tavernas. Here you can taste the local cuisine and feel the sea breeze. Further along, you pass through Heraklion, the vibrant capital of Crete, where history and culture come together.

You end at Fort Koules, an imposing Venetian fortress from 1540 at the harbor. Climb to the roof for a stunning view of the sea and the city. Along the way, you also pass the Archaeological Museum of Iraklion, where you discover the stories of the Minoan civilization.

The route is easy and largely paved, ideal for a relaxing day on the bike. Enjoy the blend of nature, culture, and Cretan hospitality.
