In a small group, we will explore two different things: the historic city center of Heraklion and vibrant and creative everyday life of Cretan people. As we ride, I will tell you lots of legends and stories about the characters who have shaped Heraklion City. This ride is for you if: - you want to see the historic neighborhoods where people have lived and worked for centuries - sitting on a tour bus is too passive - you prefer to go off the beaten path and see the alternative sights of Heraklion - you want to engage with a real Cretan guy, who can give you honest opinions on all aspects of cretan life, tradition and culture. - you want to see most of the city in one day You will ride my personal collection of electric bikes (pedal-free), which are fully certified and insured. We'll move around some of my favorite neighborhood spots, we can do that because.. we ride bikes!!
