A scenic bike day trip from Agios Nikolaos to Crete’s highland heart
Ride through Crete’s most iconic upland landscape on a cycling experience that blends nature, culture, and panoramic views. The Lasithi Plateau is famous for its windmills, fertile fields, and traditional villages—framed by the rugged peaks of the Dikti Mountains. Starting from Agios Nikolaos, we head inland toward the plateau, enjoying quiet country roads, authentic local stops.
Lasithi is where Crete feels timeless: stone houses, small cafés, family-run farms, and wide-open skies. This ride is designed for travelers who want more than “just cycling”—it’s a moving journey through the island’s rural identity, with plenty of moments to pause for photos, stories, and local flavor.
Best for: nature lovers, active travelers, culture seekers, couples, friends
Pace: relaxed to moderate (adjusted to the group)
Bikes: ideal as an e-bike tour (also possible on standard bikes depending on availability/level)
Season: spring to autumn (excellent light and cooler air up on the plateau)
