Rider Experiences & Independent MotoGreece Reviews

We did the 11 day Northwest and Pelion self guided tour in July 2025. Our experience was seamless and exceeded all our expectations. Each day we followed the routes which were carefully planned by John and we also had the freedom to explore our own detours as well. Every night we were greeted at beautiful accommodation. The bike was practically new and performed perfectly. We would strongly recommend MotoGreece without hesitation.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

In October we rode the MotoGreece Northern route, two up, through the mountains on their GS1300 Triple Blacks. The bike were brilliantly specced and prepared with good luggage. The route provided (with their Tom Toms and paper notes) gave us the opportunity to see both popular and remote parts of Greece, the highlight being the 1905m Barros Pass. The accommodation provided was excellent and we ate in all the recommended restaurants. An excellent tour for riders and pillions. Well done to both the Johns at MotoGreece. Thanks, Nick and Claire

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

I cant thank John and the MotoGreece team enough for the recent trip I have just experienced. A mate and I came from Australia and did the 11 day tour of northern Greece, and having completed many motorbike tours all over the world, including both self guided and group tours, this has been probably the best experience I have had on a bike. Everything about the package that motogreece put together was fantastic, well thought out and planned to perfection. The routes were far better than I could ever have imagined, with miles and miles of twisting, windy roads through amazing and varied landscapes, with very little other traffic through most of it, and what one would only describe as a culture of road ‘recommendations’ instead of road rules. I was provided with a Triple Black GS1250 and my mate on a GS800, both were in imaculate condition and extremely well maintained. They never missed a beat, as is to be expected of these bikes and were a perfect match to the roads we encountered. Each day of riding was a surprise package, with hints and suggestions of local sight seeing, taverns and stop overs recommended in the road book provided. These tips, combined with the outstanding accomodation package made for an unforgettable and easy experience. I was extremely impressed by the quality and location of the hotels, a number of which were multi night stays with loop rides returning to the same location each night, which meant for easier and more enjoyable riding without the luggage and panniers, but also allowed you to settle in to a neighbourhood for a couple of days and get to experience the local area better. I will be back to explore more of the country to the South and could not recommend the service and quality provided by the motogreece team more highly. Thanks for an amazing and unforgettable experience John.

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!

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

We recently did a 10-day Northern Greece self-guided moto tour thru MotoGreece . I have to say that my expectations were far exceeded by MotoGreece. John & John were great to deal with. The tour was well laid out and the hotels, food and of course the people were all great! The bikes were all new BMW models of our choice. The roads and the scenery of northern Greece was quite a surprise. The asphalt was not the greatest in some areas up in the mountains, but the scenery was very reminiscent of the Alps & Dolomites. I highly recommend MotoGreece to anyone thinking of doing a moto tour of Greece.

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.

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!

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.

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!
