While Theseus was the one to defeat the Minotaur, it wouldn't have happened without the cunning of Ariadne who supplies him with the thread and sword, and helps him to get out of the maze. And at this point, as the tour starts to take us into the heights of Western Crete, our riders are going to need equal amounts of smarts if they are going to navigate out of this mountainous maze.

Starting with an enchanting ride through Therissos Gorge, the route explores Crete's lesser-known side, and a dizzying combination of corkscrews, mountain village climbs and jaw dropping views of the Aegean.

The West of the island is also home to some of Europe's finest beaches. So at the end of the day, riders will be rewarded with a chance to enjoy the pink sands and blue waters of Elafonissi beach.
