Crete Extreme 4CE 2303

Friday, October 20, 2023 | Michael Göbel | Europe

Our group, Peter from England, Andrew from the US and Thomas from Germany arrived in Heraklion and we are ready to go!

Dinner with a view

Riding day 1 - Heraklion-Nikolaos 223 km

A great first riding day with a small group of good riders. Countless corners and beautiful scenery. Lunch and coffee stops at the beach. We even went swimming. Bootbeer at our nice hotel Miramare.

Riding day 2 - Restday Nikolaos 255 km

Our first restday. But this group wanted to ride, of course. We went to the Eastern part of Crete and had great fun on twisty mountain roads. A swim in the ocean was a must for Andrew. Crete is beautiful!

Riding day 3 - Nikolaos - Matala 235 km

Another wonderful day in motorcycle paradise. We crossed the island to the South coast and had some great passes with countless switchbacks and breathtaking scenery. We ended in Matala, a former Hippie colonie. What a special spot.

Riding day 4 - Matala - Chania 250 km

Our best riding day so far. We crossed the island to Chania over a challenging single lane pass road with 30 switchbacks. And then a great twisty mountain road from coast to coast in excellent condition. What a great day!

Riding day 5 - Restday Chania 270 km

Second rest day without rest for Thomas, he wanted the full programm. Goat trails in the morning and endless twisties during the day. Samaria gorge was the scenic highlight of the day. Peter and Andrew went sightseeing in the beautiful town of Chania and on a boat trip.

So everybody had a great day.

Riding day 6 - Chania - Heraklion 230 km

What a pitty,  our last riding day. Again a beautiful day of riding and scenery. Swimming in a freshwater lake, doing some goat trails and visiting the famous monastery of Arkadi. The group did great! Hope to see you again.

And don't forget:  Look where we are!
