About this experience
A guided e-bike tour with Fit in Crete makes cycling accessible for everyone, especially on the hilly terrain of Crete. The quiet electric motor acts like a helping hand pushing you along, you only need to be able to ride a normal bike, and there is no need to be super fit.
Everyone can enjoy the wild scenery and rugged coasts, cycle through traditional villages, be entertained by goats trying to move out the way, admire incredible views from the hilltops or just enjoy feeling the wind in your hair as you cycle along quiet, little known roads full of nature.
