Begin your exciting coastal bike tour from our starting point, located very close to the Acropolis metro station. Get introduced to your tour leader and learn all the important safety rules before putting on your helmet and getting on your bike to start! Cycle towards the pictursque neighborhood of Plaka and check out the little souvenir shops aligned by the neoclassical buildings. Ride by the Greek and Roman Agoras on your way to the lovely and hip area of Thission where the ancient cemetery of Kerameikos is located.

Wir hatten ganz viel Freude mit unserem Guide Marios auf der Fahrradtour! Er hat es sogar geschafft unsere Teenager zu unterhalten! Die Überraschung für einen gemeinsamen griechischen Snack hat ihnen (Read More)besonders gut gefallen und dann war auch vergessen, dass wir gar keine E-Bike-Tour gebucht hatten sondern eine normale Bike-Tour. Ooooopsi, unser elterlicher Fehler. 🤪 Auch die Strecke und die Scenery waren einfach herrlich und somit insgesamt eine absolute Empfehlung - auch und erst recht für Familien!

We biked through historic neighborhoods and tasted Greek food along the way. What a great way to see Athens!
