Enjoy an incredible e-bike tour with wine tasting in the countryside of Heraklion, Crete. Starting and ending in front of Pankritio Stadium west of Heraklion and heading towards the hills and mountains of Crete, this tour allows its participants to discover the Cretan inland by e-bike without sweating or getting tired. The small picturesque villages, old historical orthodox churches and chapels, and unique centenary trees reward all visitors with their beauty and history. At the end of the tour a 4 cretan wines tasting with some greek meze will take place and after that we will be transported by car back to our starting point.
We start west of Heraklion from the beach of Ammoudara and head south towards the hinterland of Crete. After leaving the urban area behind us we enter a rural area full of vineyards and olive groves. On one side of the route we can see the holy mountain of Yioukta and on the other the highest mountain of Crete, Psiloritis. The first village we meet is Gournes, a small village built on a hill.
A small village built on a hill with an amazing view.
After Athanatoi the road becomes uphill until we reach the almost uninhabited village of Xirolia. Here we change our direction and we ride west.
