A few words about the Villages.
Malaxa is a small village on an elevated plateau on the feet of the White Mountains of Crete. It is located south of the village (and the harbor) of Souda, at a distance of 8 km from Chania city. Malaxa consists of a number of scattered houses, some of which have been masterfully renovated, and some villas that were built during recent years. What makes Malaxa stand out is its magnificent view over Souda bay. The village is also known for its traditional taverns with Cretan dishes.
Aptera is a very unique village, situated on an elevated location on the south part of Souda Bay, overlooking the whole bay and the Apokoronas plains. It is obvious that this strategic location is linked with a very rich history. First of all, the name “Aptera”, meaning “without wings” in ancient Greek, has an interesting story behind it. On this spot, in ancient times, there used to be a center for the musical arts with a big temple dedicated to the Muses.
According to ancient Greek mythology, the Sirens challenged the Muses to a music competition in the temple, but in the end the Sirens lost, and they were so sad, that their feathers fell off into Souda Bay, leaving them wingless, or “aptera”.

Haben mit Apostoli zwei sehr schöne Touren gemacht. Sehr gut organisiert, gute Räder und man erfährt viel über die Gegend. Hat uns viel Spaß gemacht!
Great service! I got an el- bicycle on very short notice with this team. Absolutly recommended!
The bikes were in perfect condition, the staff was very friendly, and the whole process was quick and easy. Highly recommend!
Wonderful service! I was desperate to find a bike to rent on a short notice while in Chania, and I was able to reach out to the owner who promptly helped me in finding the best available solution, which was delivered in Chania's city centre in less than one hour and allowed me to experience (some of) the beauties of Crete! The owner, Apostolis, also gave me some great tips in terms of route and stops. Super recommended!
Great service. I got a very nice bike. Apo was very helpful in setting out a great route. I definitively recommend him if you want to rent a bike in Chania!
Super tour en e-bike! Le guide a été super nous avons appris beaucoup de choses. La pause fraîcheur et dégustation de produits locaux est un plus!
A lovely relaxing tour through great scenery, with a local stop off for Greek coffee and food. The tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable and my wife and I really enjoyed the experience. I would recommend booking!!! The guide also provided a fantastic restaurant suggestion too.
We had a great experience renting four E-MTB bikes from Tour-Point today! They were in great condition and the price was very reasonable! We opted to go on our own without a guide but Tour-Point provided us with a very scenic 30 Mile (50km) route up into the mountain area. The views were spectacular! We would never have managed such a long and hilly tour in this heat without the great E-MTB bikes that made it very enjoyable. I would highly recommend Tour-Point for your e-bike rental and tours. Thanks for a great experience seeing a side of Crete that many people miss.
Fantastic bikes in top shape. Dropped off night before and we spent 15 min looking at Strava for the perfect ride. Would 100% use them again.
The crew at TOUR Point are fantastic. I reached out before our weeklong stay and coordinated an eMTB rental. Apos dropped off the bike at our villa, made sure I had everything I needed, and then texted me a recommended 40-50 km route each day based on how far I wanted to ride and what I was interested in. Thank you for making my stay in Crete memorable.
Snel geregeld, erg leuke tocht gemaakt. We huurden 2 e-bikes voor een dag. Ze werden de dag ervoor aan ons hotel geleverd. Appo gaf tips mee voor een leuke tocht en zette een route op onze gsm, met tips om iets te gaan eten enzo. Erg leuk! Een aanrader om Kreta op een andere manier te verkennen!
