Full description
The bike tour lasts about 3 hours, and it is a nice way to get yourselves oriented in the city of Athens. The ride takes place in the amazing historic city center, on pedestrian areas, low traffic streets, and parks away from the traffic hustle. Your local tour leader will head the tour, riding with you very close to the main archaeological sites and guiding you through some hidden areas, while providing you with a stunning experience!  The group rides close to the new Acropolis Museum and the Ancient Cemetery of Kerameikos, through the neighborhood of Thission, while you enjoy a great view of the Acropolis and the Parthenon. Then, cycle through the Ancient Greek Agora and pass by the Roman Agora Continue cycling in the historic district of Plaka, and then move to the National Gardens, one of the best areas to ride in downtown Athens.

We had a great time, despite the heat! Stelios was an awesome and very knowledgeable guide-he shared so much cool and helpful information, and took care to make sure everyone was ok throughout the tour and that we were all having a good time. It was fun to have this experience with the others in our group. We took this tour on our first full day in Athens and were able to get a good idea where things are in the city, which made us more comfortable getting around for the rest of our time here. Make sure to be well hydrated for this tour, bring a hat, and wear sneakers.

Highlight of our trip! Perfect for the first day, so we could get out bearings and really get a feel for the city. Felix, our guide, was great too - has excellent local knowledge. None of us felt out of our depth with the cycling nor unsafe at any point. Thoroughly recommend.
