Rider Experiences & Independent MotoGreece Reviews

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.

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

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.

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!

Highly recommended Highly professional outfit! I’ve rented bikes in multiple countries, and MotoGreece was one of the best. Helpful staff and quality bikes. Highly recommended and would definitely use them again. All the positive reviews online helped me choose and they were spot-on.

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.

I’ve rented bikes all over the world, and this 10-day self-guided central & northern Greece tour was exceptional. The folks at MotoGreece provide excellent bikes, navigation, accommodations and suggestions.

We have travel the world , dealing with multiple Motorcycle rentals companies , Ireland, Equador, Spain , South Africa which was my favorite, New Zealand , UK , France , Germany , Austria, Switzerland and now after a 9 day ride I Greece surpass all my expectation and my number 1 favorite ride now , the mountains , the passes , ocean coast line , the hotel accommodations , curves , switchbacks are endless , beautiful country side , people were very welcoming , John you both have an amazing business, great bikes and one minor incident which was our fault and you treated us fairly making us wanting to return once again in the near future . Thank you again for this unforgettable journey Marc Fortier Northern Ontario Canada

Outstanding trip My wife and I experienced the 10 day self guided tour of Central/Northwest Greece. Everything went like clockwork. John arranged for our airport pickup and we arrived at his shop with our riding gear. Our bike was there prepped and ready to go. After loaded the side cases and completing a little paperwork, John gave us a very comprehensive briefing, provided a GPS with routes and alternates, a guide book with much useful and detailed information, and printed map pages for each day. With that we were on our way. Ten fabulous days. The routes were clearly put together by someone who loves “motorcycle roads” and the lodging was outstanding. The guide book provided a great deal of useful information suggesting when and where to fuel up and where to eat and local sites to visit. Every suggestion we followed was a winner. We’ve taken self-guided, guided, rent and ride and this was one of the best. I highly recommend and have recommended to my NorCal BMW Club members. I’m curious about some of the other areas and suspect we’ll use MotoGreece again. Incidentally, I’ve never felt compelled to rate a tour company before as a few promised more than they delivered. MotoGreece actually exceeded our expectations.

8 Day Self-Guided Tour of the Peloponnese We did the 8-day self-guided Peloponnese tour at the beginning of October. Our bike of choice was the Honda NC750X. The bike was in excellent condition and was the perfect choice for 2-up riding. We have taken a dozen or so motorcycle trips throughout the world, and this trip ranks near the very top. The pre-programmed GPS and paper guidebook were very well organized. Just load up a map for the day, and off you go. The amount of riding time each day was perfect. We could sleep in a little bit some days and still arrive at the next destination with some time available for some exploration. The hotel choices were all excellent. Scenery in this area of Greece is amazing. We will definitely be back again for another trip with Moto Greece.

Central & Northwest Greece Self-Guided Tour We did the (slightly modified) 10 day Self-Guided Central & Northwest Greece tour - what a beautiful and overlooked part of the country. The scenery is stunning, made even more so by the autumn colours of October.John & John from MotoGreece have put together a superb package - fantastic roads, great accommodation and a detailed road book providing loads of information regarding the route.Two couples, we hired 2 x GS1300s - almost brand new with full luggage and pre-loaded TomTom GPS units.Altogether a fantastic trip - thanks MotoGreece!

First class motorcycle rental and tour company in the heart of Athens, Greece Motogreece is a first class motorcycle rental operation and is certainly the one I would recommend for a rental or tour when visiting Greece. As an owner of a motorcycle dealership in the US and having rented motorcycles all over the world I can honestly say we had one of our best rental experiences with Motogreece, from the first email response on the owners were very helpful throughout the entire duration of our trip. Highly knowledgeable and with an excellent selection of newer bikes that are in great condition and thoroughly maintained. This is a relatively small operation compared to some mega rental franchises we have dealt with before which allows for a much more personal experience tailored to suit your needs. We rented at a very short notice and John was able to accommodate us with bikes we were very happy with in just a few days. These guys truly are enthusiast and go out of their way to help whenever possible. I would not look any further if you are looking to pick up a rental motorbike in the Athens area. They are also conveniently located downtown about 30 min from the airport and relatively close to the Acropolis area.

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!

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

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.

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.

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.

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!
