SELF-GUIDED MOTORCYCLE TOURS IN GREECE
OVERVIEW
Ride Greece independently — with the planning already done.
Designing a motorcycle tour in Greece from abroad takes time and local knowledge. Route quality is easy to misjudge, distances often feel different on the bike than they appear on a map, and accommodation quality can vary widely by region.
MotoGreece self-guided tours are built for riders who want the freedom of riding on their own, without the uncertainty of planning from afar. Each tour is based on routes we ride ourselves, accommodation we have tested over time, and practical rider information that removes guesswork without dictating how you ride.
There is no group to keep up with, no lead bike to follow, and no pressure to match someone else’s pace. You follow a proven framework and make your own decisions within it — on roads chosen specifically for motorcycling in Greece.
Rather than describing these tours in abstract terms, we prefer to let riders with extensive touring backgrounds speak for themselves:
You can find more verified reviews on TripAdvisor (link), on our Google business profile (link), and on our Facebook page.
Many riders who choose our self-guided tours have significant experience touring internationally. Feedback frequently highlights not a single element, but how routes, accommodation, navigation, and on-the-ground information work together consistently — the result of years of refinement, not a pre-packaged itinerary.

CHOOSE YOUR TOUR
Each self-guided tour follows the same core philosophy, while serving a different riding style, pace, and regional focus.
We currently offer 10 ready-to-ride self-guided motorcycle tours covering much of mainland Greece, ranging from extended 19-day journeys to shorter 3- and 4-day routes. Some longer tours are created by combining shorter routes into a single itinerary.
