Motorbike holidays in Greece

Greece, the country of contrasts... You may have visited this country and its islands many times, but how well do you know it? You may have seen some of its beaches, but how about the mountains, the archaeological sites, the caves, the traditional villages, the hidden treasures...

What a better way to discover all Greek beauty than on a motorbike? Motorbike holidays are the latest trends in Greece. You hire a motorbike and go to discover the secrets of the Greek mainland and some big greek islands. There are many offices in Greece that organize motorbike tours: they rent you a bike of your choice, make a schedule according to your preferences, pick up from airport and book hotels for you. You don't need to do anything than ride two wheels and enjoy the fresh breeze and the wonderful landscapes you will pass by.

The most developed area for motorbike holidays is Peloponnese, as it combines mountainous areas in its centre, beach resorts all around and many archaeological sites all over it. Most tours in Peloponnese include Nafplion, Mycenae, Epidaurus, Olympia, Arkadia, Kalavryta, Monemvasia and Messenia.

Another place very popular in motorbike holiday is the island of Crete, the biggest and most contradictory island of Greece. The Cretan landscape varies with exotic palm forests in the south, picturesque lakes on the eastern side and high mountains in the centre, while you will certainly find Medieval Castles, impressive gorges and lovely monasteries on your way.

For less known and more difficult routes, you can certainly try the unknown Northern and Northwestern Greece. This area is surrounded by high mountains and offers special views. Zagoria, Ioannina, Meteora, Kastoria and Florina are only a few destinations you can include in your trip.
