What to Expect
Our Athens coastal bike tour starts from the biggest pedestrian street of Athens, located a breath away from Acropolis, where you will have a short introduction of the tour’s schedule.
Equipped with a comfortable bike for a relaxed and enjoyable tour, we will first ride towards the scenic neighbourhood of Plaka. On our way to the Roman Agora, we will enjoy a marvelous view of the Acropolis. The lovely neighbourhood of Thission and the Ancient Greek cemetery of Kerameikos will be the last landmarks of the historic centre.
Then, we will get on a bike path that leads to the coastline, through some urban and picturesque neighbourhoods of Athens: Petralona, Kallithea and Moschato, some of the coolest areas in the city one wouldn’t normally see in any other tour in Athens.
After about 45 minutes cycling on flat terrain, we will reach the southern suburbs. One of the highlights of this trip is the visit to Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, a masterpiece of modern architecture and one of the best places to visit in Athens. The Foundation hosts the new National Library and the new National Opera House.
Our Athens Coastal Bike tour will continue by crossing the Naval Museum & the Flisvos Marina, where the luxurious speed boats and yachts are docked. While enjoying the refreshing sea breeze of the Athenian Riviera, we will finally arrive at Alimos Marina.
Half-way through the tour, we will stop for a well-earned 30-minute break at a nice sandy beach, where you can either enjoy swimming or have a drink/refreshment at a beach bar, and it certainly is one of the best things to do if you travel in Athens during summer.
After the refreshing break, we will start cycling back towards the city centre. Before completing our coastal tour of Athens, we will show you one of the best places in Athens to taste some delicious handmade local pastries. This tour will help you gain a great overall impression of the city and its suburbs.
Enjoy the sea breeze and explore Athens from a different point of view cycling along the coast and admire the deep blue water of the Saronic gulf in a rich, half-day cycling tour of Athens and beyond. Get ready to cycle through time and space, in an amazing journey that includes ancient temples, breathtaking panoramic views, sandy beaches, private and luxurious yacht marinas!
