Good Morning Athens Cycle Tour

The tour starts with a short briefing about safety. The first stop is in front of the new Acropolis Museum, where we will give you some useful tips about visiting the Acropolis hill and the Parthenon. Then, through nice and quiet pedestrian areas we will pass by the main highlights of the historic center, the Ancient Greek Agora, the Keramikos Ancient cemetery, the Roman Agora, and finally the Athens Orthodox Cathedral. We will also visit some hidden spots in the city that you might have missed. Our 20 to 25-minute coffee break follows. You will have the chance to taste the popular Greek-style coffee and relax for a while. Then, we start cycling again inside the traditional Plaka neighborhood before exploring the more “modern” part of the city. We will have a closer look at the Panathenaic Stadium, the venue where the first modern Olympic Games took place. We will also cycle through the maze of the National Gardens, the best place to enjoy nice shady trails and to cool down a little. We will admire the Presidential guards in front of the Presidential mansion and check in at Zappeion indoor hall. Your tour leader will accompany you and supervise the program. He will give you insider tips about the daily life in Athens and several recommendations about night entertainment and places to eat where locals go. This bike tour is designed for the average cyclist. We do not cycle on busy streets and we avoid difficult up-hills. Small groups and local tour leaders ensure your safety. Our aim is to make your stay in Athens the most pleasant one.
