Motorcycle trips in Greece: Discover nature & culture
Greece, a country full of ancient legends, offers not only breathtaking coastal landscapes but also fascinating motorcycle trips through unique nature. Our tours take you from the majestic mountain roads of the mainland to the hidden paths of Crete. Experience the Mediterranean joie de vivre in authentic taverns while exploring the impressive landscapes. From deep gorges to untouched beaches. Let yourself be inspired by the rich culture and lively festivals of the locals and discover the culinary delights of Greek cuisine on your travels.
Does this trip match your riding level?
Both Crete tours are built for confident beginners, though each includes technical sections. The Offroad Enduro Crete tour runs up to 75% off-road, with gravel tracks and trails through mountain passes and gorges. The South Crete trip is rated more demanding by past riders, with tight curves and elevation changes on stages such as the King Stage through Anógia and the climb into the Psiloritis mountains. Feeling comfortable riding standing up and braking on loose surfaces helps on both routes.
You ride a motorcycle provided on site rather than bringing your own. Past riders on the South Crete trip describe getting a well kept BMW enduro machine in good condition. Since Crete is an island, arriving with your own bike is uncommon; mention it when you send your inquiry if this matters to you and we will look into whether it is possible.
A typical day opens with a briefing on the route and conditions, most detailed before demanding stages such as the day two gravel warm up. From there you ride winding coastal roads, olive groves and mountain villages, with stops at highlights such as Préveli Monastery and the Lassithi Plateau. Nights are spent in fixed accommodation such as in Matala rather than under canvas, leaving the evening free for a taverna and a swim in the sea.
Experience required
Both Crete tours work for confident beginners but include technical sections: up to 75% gravel and trail riding on the Offroad Enduro Crete tour, and challenging curves and elevation on the South Crete trip's King Stage through Anógia and the Psiloritis mountains. Riding standing up and braking on loose surfaces helps on these stretches.
Own bike allowed
You ride a motorcycle provided on site rather than your own. Past riders on the South Crete trip mention a well kept BMW enduro machine. Since Crete is an island, bringing your own bike is uncommon; mention it in your inquiry if this matters to you.
Daily distance
Both Crete trips run 8 days in total. The South Crete tour includes 5 full riding days with a daily GPS track, and the Offroad Enduro Crete tour is also built around several full days in the saddle. Exact daily distances vary by stage and routing.
Typical day
The day opens with a briefing on route and conditions, most detailed before demanding stages such as the day two gravel warm up. Stages then run along coasts, mountain villages and passes, with stops such as Préveli Monastery and the Lassithi Plateau. Nights are spent in fixed lodging such as in Matala rather than under canvas, with time for a taverna and the sea in the evening.
Best time to ride
Crete's motorcycle season runs roughly April to October, with the coast rideable earliest and latest. The inland mountain passes open up from May and stay reliable through October, once they're clear of any late snow. Spring and autumn bring the most comfortable temperatures for long days in the saddle on both the coast and in the hills.

Booking questions
What is included in the price of a Greece motorcycle tour?
Your tour price covers an experienced local guide, daily route briefings and the accommodation listed for each tour, such as the stay in Matala on the Offroad Enduro Crete trip. It also includes the statutory travel protection certificate required under German law (BGB section 651r). Flights or the ferry to Crete and travel health insurance are arranged separately.
Do I need off-road experience for the Crete tours?
Both tours are designed to work for confident beginners, but each includes technical sections. The Offroad Enduro Crete tour runs up to 75% off-road, so feeling comfortable standing up and riding on loose gravel helps. The South Crete trip is generally rated more demanding, especially on the King Stage through Anógia, so some experience with curves and elevation change is useful there.
Do I ride my own motorcycle or is one provided?
You ride a motorcycle provided on site rather than bringing your own. Past riders on the South Crete trip mention a well kept BMW enduro machine in good condition. Because Crete is an island, arriving with your own bike is uncommon; mention it when you send your inquiry if this matters to you and we will look into whether it is possible.
How large are the tour groups?
The Offroad Enduro Crete tour runs with 6 to 8 riders per group. The South Crete trip runs with 4 to 10 riders per group. Both sizes are kept small enough for the guide to give everyone individual attention on the daily stages.
Which Crete tour suits my riding level?
The Offroad Enduro Crete tour has the higher off-road share, with gravel and trail riding through the island's mountains and gorges. The South Crete trip mixes demanding stages, such as the King Stage through Anógia and the climb into the Psiloritis range, with highlights like Préveli Monastery and the Lassithi Plateau. Tell us about your riding background in your inquiry and we will recommend the right tour.
How does booking and the deposit work?
After your inquiry you receive a personal offer that includes the statutory travel protection certificate under BGB section 651r. The booking becomes binding once you confirm it, and you then receive your tour documents and packing list. Flights or the ferry to Crete, travel health insurance, and an airport transfer outside the included first and last day, available for an extra 70 euros, are arranged separately.
