Theriso Village, with its dramatic mountain scenery and gorge, sits at 580 m at the foothills of the massive Lefka Ori or White Mountain range in the west of Crete. The beautiful gorge with its dramatic scenery can be seen from the road as it runs along the bed of the gorge for 6 km, accompanying the tree-lined river and surrounded by the greenery of chestnuts and oaks. Of course the gorge also makes a wonderful walk in the clean mountain air, and is popular with rock climbers and hikers.
The road from Chania city to Theriso is one of the most picturesque in Crete, as for about 6 km it ascends along the Therisos Gorge. It is a gorge with steep cliffs and lush vegetation that will not fail to impress you, and which you can enjoy during our tour.
Theriso is one of the most historic villages in Crete on top of a spectacular gorge.
Theriso is famous for its beauty and its rich and important history. The mother of Eleftherios Venizelos came from the settlement. The great politician started the 1905 Revolution from Theriso. A house that was used as headquarters then is in the village and can be visited. A museum related to the Cretan Revolution is also in the village.

The mountain bike tour with Apostolis was absolutely fantastic! ????♀️ The tour was perfectly organized, and Apostolis was an amazing guide. I had such a wonderful day and got to see and experience so many beautiful places. Everything was just perfect from start to finish. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Chania, and I’m already looking forward to doing it again next time! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ik ben erg tevreden over tour-point. Goede communicatie, je wordt snel geholpen. Heb twee dagen een e-mtb gehuurd, wordt bezorgd op je adres. Ben ook erg tevreden dat ze mij routes hebben gegeven. Zelfs onderweg heb ik nog geappt en gaf hij nog tips om mijn dag te verbeteren.
We (three Dutch guys on vacation) rented three road bikes for a day. They were great! Also was the communication was clear and fast and they were very flexible with our plans. I would definitely recommend renting bikes here :)
Incredible customer service! He brought me new cleats when I needed them, provided a replacement bike, and even came to pick me up when the battery for my electronic shifting died. He truly went above and beyond to help. Highly recommended!
We had a very pleasant experience on our e-bike tour. We got lucky and got basically a private tour . The tour guide was kind and did give us information and details on the landmarks that we passed. Even tho he was a bit sarcastic, so don't worry, he just messing around a bit. You can pretty much pick any tour route regardless of difficulty, because the e-bikes are doing most of the work so it should be more of a breeze rather than heavy excerise. Definitely recommend doing it. It was a pleasent and relaxing experience.
Cannot recommend these guys highly enough. Amazing. I contacted them prior to flying out to Crete after being recommended them by another rental company who couldn't accommodate me, and I'm so glad I ended up with Tour Point. In the month leading up to my holiday I was in contact with Apostolis on Whatsapp where he sent me details of potential routes I could ride and local information for riding which was invaluable. On arrival I went to collect the bike which was a brand new Scott Addict. I sit between a 54cm and a 56cm (Medium and Large) and had opted for the 56cm that I ride at home and hadn't accounted for the fact the aero seat posts on modern bikes only go so far down so the bike was just a tiny bit too tall for me. Apostolis was genuinely gutted for me as all the 54cm were booked out. As the ride I had planned for the day after was mainly climbing it wasn't a major issue as I'd be out of the saddle for the majority. I rode the bike the day after and by the time I was back (0930hrs) the following day Apostolis had already been in touch to say he'd sorted me a 54cm through another friend as he had none and would deliver it to me to swap over which is what we did at no extra cost. The service and commitment from Apostolis was second to none. He is clearly very passionate about what he does and proud of the wonder that his local area offers. The routes he suggested were stunning and challenging, and he also offered great local information about where to visit and eat etc off the beaten track to immerse yourself with the local people if that was something you wanted to do. I rode early in the morning just to avoid some of the heat, not long after sunrise and it was spectacular. Use this guy.....you won't be disappointed. Thanks Tour Point for some wonderful riding.
Super available with a last minute booking, excellent material, smart routing and food tips! Will certainly return
Η καλύτερη εξυπηρέτηση! Ο Αποστολης δίνει πολύ καλές οδηγίες και προτείνει ημερήσιες διαδρομές γύρω από τα Χανιά, σε παραλίες και αξιοθέατα. Συστήνουμε ανεπιφυλακτα!
Exceptionnel. Excellent services, si je pouvais mettre 6 étoiles, je le ferai. Réactivité, fluidité, sens du service, gentillesse. Vélos livrés [de bonne qualité] après une réservation la veille pour le lendemain. Conseils sur le matériel, la balade, les points d'intérêts. Vraiment top !
Absolutely fantastic bike rental experience! Everything was easy and straightforward, with great communication from start to finish. The owner was incredibly helpful, friendly, and accommodating, even though our request was made at the last minute. He also created a Strava route for us and gave us several great recommendations for roads and places to ride, which made the experience even better. You could really tell that he wanted us to have a great time and get the most out of our cycling experience in Crete. I would highly recommend renting a bike from here to anyone visiting Crete. Great service, great bikes, and an even better experience!
I had an amazing experience with hiring a bike with Tour Point on my recent trip to Crete. Apostolis was really helpful and always in communication with me, even making multiple routes for me to use. He was very flexible with pickup and drop off times which I really appreciated. I highly recommend anyone looking to hire a bike to explore the island in the best way possible to do it with these guys.
