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 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.

Reviews

  • Gentle ride to the beach and a different side of Athens!

    Dimitris guided my teenage son and I and a few more guests on a lovely gentle bike ride through some of the sites and neighbourhoods surrounding the Acropolis, and then along a bike route out to the coast. It offered a different perspective on this great city and plenty of great photo spots coming from Dimitris – personable, fun, and a very good choice to spend a morning with. Bikes were good quality and well-maintained. Helmets were clean. Shop was easy to find. Timings were accurate. Really good experience all round.
    Thank you from us both!

  • A must do activity!

    We had a brilliant time cycling with our tour leader Kostas who gave us an invaluable insight into the best parts of Athens. We were able to take away his recommendations on where to go and what to see, which has made our whole holiday more enjoyable. Seeing parts of the city we would not have visited and spending time at the beach and marina showed the vast contrast of Athens at its best. Don’t visit Athens without booking a tour with these guys and you will be extremely happy if Kostas is your guide, he is amazing!

  • Superb tour of Athens

    We did the coastal tour with Dimitris and we got to see many sites in and around Plaka and then continued to the coast. Dimitris stopped many times to help us take great photos. We stopped at the beach for a dip in the Aegean Sea and he also took us to see the fabulous new Opera building. On the way back we devoured some snacks at a Greek bakery. Dimitris also gave us advice on what to do and where to eat during the rest of our vacation. This was a highlight of our time in Athens!

  • Athens Coastal Bike Tour – One of the Highlights of Our Trip to Athens

    Just a short note to describe our tour; our tour leader Sapfo was very enthusiastic and did a great job in directing traffic to ensure that we had a very safe and comfortable ride through Athens. Because of the tour we were able to experience the beach life of Athens and to see the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center. Sapfo provided us with suggestions for our current visit in Athens and future trips to the Greek Islands. We enjoyed the stop for fresh Greek pasties. The bikes were comfortable and easy to adapt to.
