A few words about the Villages.
Platanias is a village situated 15 km west of Chania town and one of the largest tourist resorts in Crete. The village owns its name to the many plane trees scattered along the shore of the river Platanias.
Vatolakkos is a village and seat of the homonymous community of the municipality of Platania in the regional unit of Chania, Crete. It belonged to Kydonia Province. It is 15 kilometers from Chania and is built at an altitude of 100 m. in the Keritis river valley, and surrounded by orange groves.
Located just 10 kilometers west of Chania, in the small village of Agia, Agia Lake is a popular spot for birdwatching. Despite its small size, the lake hosts over 200 species of migratory and native birds, insects such as dragonflies, as well as rare species of amphibians and ferns, and as such it has earned its inclusion in the Natura 2000 network.
The lake of Agia was created in 1928 as part of a hydroelectric power plant. However, the plant was eventually abandoned, allowing the lake to develop into one of the most ecologically significant wetlands in Crete.

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.
