Rider Experiences & Independent MotoGreece Reviews

Great company. Great bike. Great ride. Motogreece is John and John. These two owners made the experience excellent from beginning to end.Advance preparation - In the lead up to the trip, they were prompt in their replies, flexible in offering routes, made lodging suggestions that best fit our needs, and were overall efficient in all aspects of the reservation.Their shop and bikes - Upon arrival, it was obvious they run a tight ship and maintain their bikes to the highest standard. Our 2025 R1300GS was prepped and ready to go.The logistics - The route planning was excellent. They provided a Tom Tom, with all routes, lodging, fuel, etc clearly marked. And, for the directionally challenged, they included a number of waypoints along each designated route. In addition, they provided a packet that explained each day’s route, the mileage, time, fuel and food options, route difficulty, etc.The roads - Once you clear Athens and the requisite traffic, the roads empty out and are a joy. Many of the suggested routes had zero traffic. We rode on everything from smooth pavement, to “better pay attention” pavement, to one 10 mile section of challenging gravel and switchbacks. All roads were all great in their own way.The lodging - We requested upgraded lodging where available, and they did not disappoint. Every place fit our needs quite well, with nice accommodations and a good restaurant.The turn in - We dropped the bike off at the scheduled time, and the check-in was a snap. They even arranged a friend to take us to our airport hotel due to a taxi driver strike that had started the previous day.Conclusion - If you are intending to come to Greece for a motorcycle holiday, you could do no better than Motogreece. John and John will take great care of you.

Top marks We’ve just had an amazing trip organised by Motogreece. The bikes were fantastic — brand-new or low-mileage BMW GS 1300 Triple Blacks, all with top boxes and preloaded satnavs. Everything was ready to go, and the route John planned was absolutely brilliant.The boutique hotels were all lovely and in places we’d never have found ourselves. The roads and routes were spot on — great riding every day, just the right amount of distance, and we got to see all the sights we’d hoped to.We did a six-day tour of the Peloponnese and met John the evening before to sort the paperwork, which made the start super smooth. On day one we were straight on the bikes after a quick orientation for those new to the GS.Can’t recommend Motogreece and John highly enough — everything ran perfectly, the bikes were incredible (did I mention they were all Triple Blacks?), and no detail was spared. We’ll definitely be back!

4 of us did the 10 day Central Northwest Greece self guided tour in late May 2025. GPS and written directions/suggestions were spot on and clear. Super easy self guided tour. Accommodations superb, smaller European rooms as expected but top notch quality. Super cost effective beginning to end. MotoGreece was available for questions throughout the trip via WhatsApp/phone/text so even though self guided we had resources available should we need them. Motorcycles were all in perfect condition, zero reliability concerns. 100% recommended and I'd do it again. Along the way every single interaction with the Greeks was ideal. Very friendly, welcoming, and happy to see and help tourists. Roads were pleasantly challenging and I believe Motogreece states this is an advanced ride? Out in the sparsely populated Northwest the roads were in various states of repair which our advanced group found fun and engaging. Always passable except for one required detour with a bridge out. Rode very short distances on packed high quality gravel in a construction area or two. No daydreaming allowed, ride as fast as you can see and stop as it should be anywhere. Scenery was flat out spectacular. Costs along the way were very reasonable. Food fuel and entertainment prices were basically in line with or better than Midwest America. Our 4 have ridden Africa, Central America, most of eastern and western Europe. This was widely accepted within our group as one of the best, not to be missed

Excellent Self-Guided Motorbiking around Greece with Motogreece Outstanding experience with our self-guided 11-day tour across Athens and Pelion - riding two up. We were impressed with the quality of the motorbike; 2025-1300GS which ran extremely well for the entire 11-days and zero issues. The roads in Greece are in great physical shape and while we have traveled to 67 Countries (and counting), and most by motorbike; Greece offered the most curved roads and hairpin turns than any other country we’ve traveled in. I was honestly surprised but pleasantly pleased! Motogreece, AKA: John & John assembled a great 11-day itinerary with all topnotch hotels reserved for our self-guided tour. Detailed printed booklet and TomTom provide day by day instructions for road navigation, coffee stops, gas stations, highlights of things to do & see and restaurant recommendations. Motorbiking around Greece is a great way to see the Country, visit the many historical sites and experience the culture and history of historical Greece. We highly recommend MotoGreece if you’re planning a motorbike excursion. They offer tours from 2-16 day duration and will provide you with an outstanding experience for a very fair, reasonable, all inclusive price for the motorbike and lodging.

Look no further to rent your adventure bike in Greece. Absolutely top bikes, top service, and top kindness. John and John are super friendly, committed to their business, and passionate about what they do. I rented an f800gs for a weekend road trip, the bike was basically brand new, in mint condition. Everything was easy, seamless, I couldn't have hoped for a better experience. Definitely my go to place for rentals!

We were 4 guys on a moto trip to Greece. John arranged our itinerary and stay for a 10 day ride. We rented the bikes for a self guided tour. It was a fantastic trip. We were provided late model BMW bikes at a competitive rate. The hotels were nice. Getting in and out of Athens was a little busy, but otherwise one of the best tours I have been on in Europe. Highly recommend!! You should go there!

Mark & I from New Zealand took a chance and contacted John at MotoGreece to enquire about him setting up the 19 day tour for us last year, and he couldn’t have been more helpful. We did this in June just gone on our own and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The roads he set on the TomTom were awesome, Mark enjoyed the Baros Pass as it was a constant flow left to right. The places he arrange for us to stay were a delight, the BMW was a dream to ride two up, the scenery exceptional. The roads were very different from NZ with lots of corners and challenges, we even found time to do the Touristy things. We had A and B routes , but would recommend the A for confident riders. We were given a booklet that covered day to day riding with advice and places to see, which we followed and enjoyed even when you returned on same road you had a different perspective. I found the booklet great to write my own day to day notes in so we could reflect on them when we got home to reminisce on such a great adventure that was so much fun and lots of photos stored away. Would I recommend it - hell yes, go for it you won’t regret it.

Awesome 15-day two-up mainland Greece tour Kimmy and I did a two-up 15 day self guided tour of everything west of Athens. An amazing trip that ranged from beaches to quaint villages to towering mountain passes. The route John suggested was phenomenal, with many secondary roads that let us really see the Greek countryside. There is history around every turn, the people are wonderful, and the food is fantastic and inexpensive. The hotels John booked for us were great. We rented an almost new BMW 1250 GS which worked great for the two of us and our luggage. Greece is the most consistently beautiful country either of us has ever traveled in! We are planning to do this again!

Great Adventure in The Peloponnese Just returned from our first self-guided tour with Motogreece in the Peloponnese. John and John at Motogreece exceeded our expectations - they were friendly, knowledgeable and very patient with all our questions at the pre- tour meeting!The BMW F800 supplied with a 3 box set was practically brand new, handled faultlessly and the ideal bike for the tour. The pre-set routes preset by John and John in the satsav are amazing with breathtaking views all the way. The lovely boutique hotels were in great locations and motorcycle friendly.We would highly recommend Motogreece - definitely First Class all the way.

Fantabulous We had one of the best trips we have ever taken! My wife and I took the 19 day self tour and it was arranged perfectly. We were on a 750GS and it was a great size for the small roads and villages. The hotels we stayed at were a perfect match for us. The research that went into coming up with the routes and accommodations was obviously a monumental task and John and John did a great job.

This was the best trip so far for my motorcycle adventures. My brother and I did the 8 day self guided tour of the Peloponnese. Every detail of the trip was fantastic. Roads, views, hotels, cultural sites and hotels were perfect. If Greece was not on your list for a motorcycle trip it should be and I highly recommend MotoGreece to plan your trip. Thanks for providing a great vacation, I hope to see you again and tour more of your beautiful country.

Excellent route, excellent bike, Excellent accomodations, excellent hosts, excellent weather. This was our 7th self-guided trip to different parts of the world and is the best so far. Rob Tomchick - Tobermory, Ontario, Canada.

Fabulous self guided tour We did a self guided 10 days trip with Motogreece and it was a remarkable wonderful journey. We experienced the real life of Greece in small villages deep in the mountains. John did an excellent job mapped out an excellent motorcycle route for 10 fabulous days. My husband and I could not stop talking about how great this trip was. We are considering returning to Greece and ride other part of Greece that John put together. Highly recommend this company without any reservations.

November 14 day self guided. Outstanding! What I expected and more, Moto Greece put together a stress free and complete package. The communication and commitment to the tour both pre ride briefing and at completion is evident of the time these guys put into all aspects , the route supported by both a map and TomTom as well as the pre booked accommodation every where I went the Hotel was expecting me. I did this self guided 14 days throughout the Peloponese at the end of the season I lucked out with the weather the guys know their package with accurate distance timings so you don’t need to worry about about pushing you are supplied with a printed guide for each day of the tour, so if you’re thinking f Greece it is well worth doing and to do it with Moto Greece was an absolute pleasure.

Thank you again for this unforgettable journey Marc Fortier Northern Ontario Canada

Motorcycle riding bucket list; Greece Our experience of doing the Self-guided 16-day Peloponnese & Central-Northwest tour with friends, in May 2024 booked through MotoGreece, was beyond expectations. From our first email contact to our debriefing at the end of the 16 days, communications and service were excellent. It is clear that the partners John and John, who manage the company, are passionate about motorcycles and making sure their customers have the best riding experiences. The bikes, two BMW 1250 GS's and a BMW F 750 GS were in great shape. The pre-loaded routes took us to places we would never have found by ourselves; seaside towns, mountain routes, ancient sites. Almost every day, the scenery was breathtaking. Accommodations were first class. We appreciated that we stayed in most places for two nights giving the option and alternative routes to explore the area or take a day off and relax. The booklet with maps, mileage breakdown and a lot of other extremely useful information including recommendations for restaurants and interesting places to visit, was a bonus. Greece is definitely a place to add to a motorcycle riding bucket list. In my opinion (I ride pillion) this is the way to explore Greece. And I would highly recommend booking through MotoGreece in Athens.

My wife and I completed a personalized 22 day self guided motorcycle tour of Greece made possible by MotoGreece. I normally don't do a lot of reviews but felt I had to review this trip with MotoGreece. From the first time I contacted John at MotoGreece back in February we've experienced nothing but courtesy and expertise in listening to our requirements, assessing our needs and formulating a trip that fit our schedule. We had been invited to a 3 day wedding in a seaside town in the Peloponnese region that John was able to incorporate into their 19 day self guided tour of Greece. We were blown away by the tour John had put together. John had arranged transportation from the airport, the keys and instructions to a like-new 1250 Triple Black GS and detailed itinerary. The day by day travel itinerary book was easy to follow and made the days ride foolproof and included points of interest, great riding break locations at scenic villages, wonderful beaches and often, route options. The GPS routes led us through spectacular scenic gorges and mountain passes on challenging paved roads right to the lovely hotels where the front desk staff were expecting us. At the end of each days ride there were suggestions provided in the itinerary for authentic local restaurants. In addition to showing us the major archaeological and geological sites MotoGreece showed us parts of Greece that we would never have discovered on our own and that I'm sure even some native Greeks have never experienced. This was our first tour arranged by someone other than myself but I cannot imagine that any other Moto Tour company would be capable of providing a better more comprehensive tour of Greece. Thank you guys for what I feel was an unparalleled motorcycle experience. Gerry & Mary Lou

We are quite experienced motorcycle travelers having rented and ridden in multiple countries. Our most recent trip was Greece with Moto Greece Communication: excellent before and during the trip Planning: the best we have had. Very nice and thorough customized day by day guide book for our trip with multiple options. Multiple sites and dining recommendations. Pre-programmed GPS with multiple options Motorcycles: New or almost new. Clean. Well prepared. Owners were very happy to spend extra time with us getting any desired personal electronics mounted with access to charging. They rent adventure touring bikes because the roads in some of the remote areas lack maintenance and can be a little rough. The extra suspension travel was much appreciated. Lodging: all carefully chosen and wonderful for our tastes The scenery was epic. Very few cars once out of Athens. The owners were also happy to serve as concierges re: time in Athens. Overall One of our best trips. Would we book with them again? Absolutely. Suggestion: Consider charging a little more and putting toll passes on the bikes. The tolls were not that common but are difficult on a motorcycle when paying cash especially when no attendant was present in the booths. It would have been nice just to roll through with a pass
