The Municipality of Hersonissos recently produced a new brochure for bike tours to give visitors all they need to know about exploring the Cretan destination’s stunning scenery while cycling.

The brochure presents nine biking trails for all difficulty levels accompanied by maps, photos and other useful information so bike riders can combine cycling with visits to traditional villages, landmarks, archaeological sites and monasteries. The brochure will assist visitors to experience the beauty of nature, tradition, history and the hospitality of the residents of Hersonissos.

Cycling tourism is an emerging form of quality tourism, which allows travelers to combine a holiday with sport and allows for a better understanding of a destination’s surroundings, sights and nature.

Hersonissos is among Greece’s most popular tourism destinations with favorable weather conditions for cyclists and excellently combine sea and mountain, culture, history and tradition.

The new brochure on bike tours is the first of a series of brochures launched within the context of the municipality’s actions for sustainable tourism development. The brochures aim to promote the various thematic tourism options visitors will find during a vacation in Hersonissos.

Brochures on religious and sports tourism in Hersonissos will follow soon.
