Overview

TRIP DETAILS
We discover the hidden corners of the city and ancient Athens by cycling in places such as the Hill of Pnyx, the old Observatory and the Monument of philopappos, the prison of Socrates, the Roman agora, Koile, Aristotles School and Hadrians Library. We admire the incomparable view of the Panathenaic stadium and the Acropolis from Arditos Hill, the Parthenon and the port of Piraeus from Philopappos Hill, the Ancient agora and the whole of Athens from Areopagus Hill.
We cross the oasis of the National Garden and the Zappeion, Plaka and the traditional district of Anafiotika. We also experience the contrasts of the modern city: designer storefronts and shops with second hand goods, trendy restaurants and quaint cafs. And after tasting traditional souvlaki, we complete our cycling in the shadow of the Acropolis.

Traveler Reviews

  • 21-Oct-2019

    I highly recommend this tour because you're on an electric bike so you can see things at your own pace. The electric bike allows you to go up and down hills and ride difficult and rocky terrain without getting exhausted the way you would on an ordinary bicycle. The guide owns a store called Bike Me Up and his name is Van Gellis. He was extremely informative and couldn't have been nicer. Not only is he the tour guide, but he doubles as a professional photographer as well. He's also very funny! This was one of the best tours I have ever taken anywhere. Don't miss out. Book this tour right away!
