Top 5 best quad bike (ATV) rentals in Kilkis

Forget the postcard image of Greece for a moment — Kilkis is a different kind of trip, one made of open plains, forested hills and a lake that stretches to the border with North Macedonia. Renting a quad here means you can start your morning at Lake Doirani, ride the shoreline road past fish tavernas and the old WWI memorial, then push on into the hills before lunch. Later you can chase the mineral-blue water of Pikrolimni or vanish under the old trees of Mouria Forest. It's a quiet corner of Greece that rewards travellers who like to go looking rather than sightsee from a bus window.

This is exactly the kind of terrain a quad bike was built for. Kilkis has almost none of the city traffic you'd fight in Athens or Thessaloniki, but it makes up for it with distance and rough ground — forest tracks through the Kroussia range, unpaved paths around the lake, and village backroads that a scooter or hire car simply can't handle. If you want to rent a quad bike in Kilkis, this is where that extra ground clearance and four-wheel grip actually earns its keep.

Top 10 things to see in Kilkis by quad bike

1. Lake Doirani (Limni Doiranis) — a cross-border lake with an easy lakeside road, fish tavernas and the WWI Doirani battle memorial.
2. Pikrolimni (Bitter Lake) — an alkaline salt lake on the Kilkis–Thessaloniki border, known for therapeutic mud and a striking mineral shoreline.
3. Kroussia Mountains — a low, densely forested range laced with dirt tracks, and the source of the Gallikos river.
4. Mouria Forest (Dasos Mourias) — centuries-old trees earning it the name "Forest of a Thousand Trees," a shaded escape from the open plains.
5. Gallikos River valley — rural backroads through farmland and small villages near the river's Kroussia springs.
6. Doirani village and WWI memorial — a lakeside village next to the monument commemorating the Battle of Doiran.
7. Mavrovouni peak, Kroussia — the range's highest point at 1,179m, a good target for a longer off-road loop.
8. Kilkis town and the Church of Agios Georgios — the regional capital, with cafes and a central Orthodox church, a natural start or end point for a loop.
9. Doirani wetland shoreline paths — reed-lined tracks around the lake's shallow edges, good for a birdwatching stop.
10. Krousia villages — small mountain villages threaded together by unpaved roads, ideal for a village-to-village ride.

What do you need to rent a quad bike in Kilkis?

You'll need a driving licence, though the exact category depends on how the quad is registered — light quadricycle or quadricycle — so it's worth confirming with the rental company before you book. Most operators set their own minimum age, generally 18, sometimes higher. A deposit is standard, usually held on a credit card, and non-EU visitors should carry an International Driving Permit alongside their licence.

How much does it cost to rent a quad bike in Kilkis?

Average rental prices run 15–20 EUR per day in low season and 25–35 EUR per day in high season, with premium models reaching 35–50 EUR per day.

• Cheapest: November–March, when demand drops off.
• Priciest: July–August, when the region sees the most visitors.

When to book a rental quad bike in Kilkis?

High season runs July to August, with the best prices and availability found outside it. May, June, September and October give you comfortable riding temperatures without peak crowds or rates, while November to March is the cheapest stretch but also when many rental shops scale back. If you're planning a summer trip, book ahead — local operators are smaller than what you'd find on the islands.

Local traffic rules in Kilkis

Greece drives on the right. Helmets are compulsory for every rider, and enforcement is strict with real fines behind it. Speed limits are 50 km/h in built-up areas and 90 km/h on open roads, and the blood-alcohol limit is 0.5 g/l for most drivers, tightening to 0.2 g/l for novice riders. Keep in mind that rental insurance almost always excludes unpaved roads and off-road use, so ask your rental company exactly what's covered before you head into the hills. Have a nice trip!
