    After a bumpy start at Athens airport, the trip went very well. Our tour guide Thanos went out of his way for us. The hikes were varied and Thanos enriched them with interesting background information. Very friendly Hotel Galaxy Excellent choice of menus with explanations from Thanos in various tavernas

    What a great trip! Well organized and laid out, both a history lesson with lots of interesting stories and a lot of laughs. Thanos the guide leader was hands down the best guide I have ever experienced on a tour. I would follow him anywhere

      Can you confirm if e-bike upgrade is available for the adventure dates - 7-10 October? They would require 1 E-bike and 2 standard bikes and if there is a cost for this upgrade?

    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperatorWritten May 2023

      To upgrade to an e-bike would be £182.00 per e-bike. We cannot offer bike hire to passenger whom is not requiring the trip or a room with Headwater.

    Rebecca

    Asked on April 13th, 2023

    I'd like to know if the "cycling the coast of eastern crete" is guided by someone and if not, how is it organized ? Besides, when we see comments about this tour, some people speaks about walks, some others about a guide. So it's difficult to know which one corresponds to the real one specifically.

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • Exodus Adventure TravelsOperatorWritten April 2023

      This is a self guided holiday and so the cycling will be done independently using the Headwater navigation app. We don't include airport transfers in the standard holiday cost however, it is possible for me to arrange transfers to tie in with your flights at an additional price.
