Yes, I took the northern coastal road, there really isn't much of a choice. Being Greece the road is somewhat narrow, however it is easy riding since there aren't too many serious climbs, unlike mainland Greece. I rode from Sitia, after arriving by ferry from Rhodes, to Chania. I took side trip to Palaiochara on the south side of the island - tiny roads steep climbs.
