This enchanting island captures the heart of everyone who visits it and many people return to it time and time again. If you’re looking for something to do when visiting Crete, you’re spoiled for choice.
There is a magnificent Minoan Palace of Knossos, the Preveli Monastery, the Samaria Gorge and the Heraklion Archaeological Museum. Of course, you can also spend time relaxing on one of the many beautiful beaches with their white and pink sand. Crete is a big island, but you can still take a trip to places such as Heraklion, Chania, Agios Nikolaos, Malia, Sitia and Sfakia.
Each has its own historical attractions. With such a large area to explore, then you can see more of the beautiful island by motorcycle or scooter. Arrange your motorcycle hire or scooter hire before you travel.
There are many areas that aren’t accessible by car and you’ll be able to navigate some of the rural areas and cobbled streets much easier on a scooter, motorcycle or quad.
