We suggest you plan your cycling tour in Greece from mid-to-late spring (April to June) or early autumn (September to October). This is so you can avoid the peak tourist months, meaning roads will be less busy. The cycling weather during these spring and autumn months is pleasant, whereas July and August can see temperatures hit an average of around 29˚C.
Each of our Greece bike tours offers a feast of stunning scenery. The Peloponnese has many picturesque villages and ancient settlements, alongside mountains, thick pine forests, olive groves and fragrant meadows.
Crete is known for its glorious golden beaches and spectacular coastline surrounded by shimmering blue seas. You can take a well-deserved break from cycling and relax in the sunshine before continuing your adventure around the island.
