Returned recently from a 2 week jaunt in Crete, exploring mountain villages and seeking out the quieter beaches. Rented a scoot. The man in the shop said we could take it anywhere - "Balos every day if you like" (Balos is nearly an hour down a dirt road.)
This is a tarmac trip down the West Coast.

and this was the welcome at the taverna at the end of the road.

Looks like you had some good weather

Hospitality of cretan people is great and they are also very crazy.
Good for you that you tried to do that with that kind of scooter.

Thanks Jokey. I would have preferred to ride my Varadero (and maybe, one day soon I will) but until then we have to find an alternative. I do enjoy most aspects of riiding. The disadvantages of a scoot are mostly to do with speed. Everything wants to overtake you and sometimes they are not too careful about how close theey are.
Cheers

This unfortunately happens in all Greece

If you come with your varadero there are many many places to be and have fun with the riding, I hope that you will sometime
