The fun way to discover the historic center and the stunning coastal area of Athens by bike
Our bike tour to the famous ‘Athenian Riviera’ is a perfect activity to gain a wonderful impression of Athens historic center combined with its coastal area.
The city being positioned right next to a fantastic coastline gives residents and visitors alike easy access to beaches with crystal clear blue waters, luxurious marinas, yacht clubs and numerous beach bars and nightclubs.
The Tour
Get active and enjoy the sun while cycling through picturesque neighborhoods and exploring the unseen urban side of the city. In the summertime you will also have time to swim at one of the nice beaches so, don’t forget to bring your swimsuit!
Our adventure begins with a short introduction about the tour’s schedule by your tour leader on the largest pedestrian street of Athens located close to the Acropolis Museum.
Our perfectly maintained bikes ensure a stress free and a comfortable ride throughout the tour. We head off through the Plaka (Old Town) on our way to the Roman Agora where we will enjoy great views of the Acropolis. We continue cycling towards the old neighborhoods of Thissio, Kerameikos (Ancient Cemetery) and Petralona, the last landmarks of the historic center. Then, we will follow a bike trail that leads us towards the coastline through the urban neighborhoods of Kallithea and Moschato.
After about 45 minutes cycling we will visit a masterpiece of modern architecture, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, which hosts the National Opera House and the new National Library.
Next, we cycle along the coastline, crossing the Naval Museum at the Flisvos Marina, where some world class yachts and speed boats are docked.
Heading down the Athenian Riviera, passing Alimos Marina we will arrive on to Kalamaki Beach were we will enjoy a thirty minute break for refreshments and maybe even enjoy a swim.
Cycling back to the starting point we will make a short stop to one of the best places in Athens to taste some delicious handmade local pastries.
