Overview

See the sights of Athens in this fun and easy 9km journey by regular or electric bike. During this 2.5 hour relaxed pace tour on quiet streets and narrow paths, we make stops at many of the must-see sights of Athens, including the Ancient Agora, Roman Forum and the Athens Cathedral.
  
Gain local insight to the city and enjoy a modern view of Athens without missing the amazing ancient part.

Should you wish to combine the cycling tour with a guided visit to Acropolis then the Bike tour + Acropolis option is the right option for you!
