About us.
We are René and Reina van der Linde, and for over 25 years, we have been exploring the stunning landscapes of Crete by bike. After many years of running a successful bike shop in Almere, the Netherlands, we decided to continue our adventure on Crete. Since 2020, we have been offering a wide selection of rental bikes and organizing guided cycling tours every week.
What started as a passion for cycling and adventure has grown into a lifestyle—one where we discover the beauty of the island on two wheels. Over the years, we have cycled across Crete multiple times, from breathtaking mountain roads to picturesque coastal paths. The island has captured our hearts with its rugged nature, welcoming people, and endless opportunities for cycling enthusiasts.
Some of our favorite routes include the Lassithi Plateau loop and the ride along Mirabello Bay, both perfect for road cycling. For e-bike riders, we recommend the scenic routes to the charming villages of Krassi, Mochos, Milatos, and Kounali.
For the adventurous mountain biker, the off-road trails with thrilling singletracks, guided by an experienced instructor, are an absolute must!
Cycling on Crete is more than just a hobby for us—it’s a way of life!
