Crete

Well I'm just finishing 10 days in Sisi which didn't go quite as planned. Given that I've already had 2 motorbike trips this year, combined with the fact that this holiday was booked as part of our Silver Wedding anniversary and the temperature being consistently north of 32C I've been absolutely nowhere.
My appetite for the island has definitely been whetted though, it looks a great place for a week or more on a decent bike so I will be back sometime and as a Republican took the opportunity that today provided (my wife being glued to the telly all day) to take a short cycle ride into the much bigger resort of Malia to seek out some options.
 
Definitely worth a week with a bike there travelling around. It's easy to get places to stay and nice to see the whole island, it's quite varied. A mid sized bike would be perfect.
 
Indeed, the holiday has piqued my interest with a view to going back in late March or October next year.
I found these guys in Malia who have a fabulous range of bikes to rent from CRF250s up to 1250GSAs.

The chap I was talking to is a local who said that if I gave him a couple of weeks notice out of the main holiday season he could take me & a few mates on some if the mountain roads and trails over the course of 4 or 5 days.
He also said that he has mates who have Air BnB properties so could organise accommodation as well if necessary.

I have his e-mither address so may well sort something at some point.
