Bike and Food Tour

Equipped with a comfortable bike for a relaxed and enjoyable ride and escorted by an expert local tour leader, we will begin the exploration of the city passing by the new Acropolis Museum, with a great panoramic view to the Parthenon and the Acropolis.

Having the privilege of riding a bike, we will get off the city center and through a safe bike path we will explore urban neighbourhoods that most tourists never reach. Our first stop will be at a traditional local pastry shop to taste the traditional bougatsa pie! You can check out how the bougatsa pie is made from the traditional pastry chefs! Words cannot describe how tasty it is, in any variation, from savoury to sweet!

We will continue exploring the suburbs of the city on our way to the second stop. There, we will try the traditional greek sesame – seed bread ring, the famous “koulouri”, our “eating-on-the-go” breakfast!
Our next stop is in the scenic neighbourhood of Plaka. There, we will visit a restaurant for a sample tasting of the most iconic greek dishes, enjoying at the same time the most famous greek aperitif, ouzo! Yammas!

But what is a Greek food tour without souvlaki? Souvlaki, this delicious wrap is the king of street food in Athens and you can taste it in many different versions. Our next stop is in the vibrant neighbourhood of Monastiraki, where the most traditional souvlaki grill restaurants are located. In order to reach the area, we will drop off the bikes and make a 5-minute walk, passing by Pandrossou street, the main souvenirs street of Athens.

As we are heading towards the end of the tour we will seek for the best ice-cream in town in a famous gelateria, giving this tour a “sweet-ending”.
By the end of the tour, you will have seen a very interesting part of the city center and the suburbs riding next to all the important monuments and you will also have got an overall idea about the passion that we Greeks have for our food!
