The experience
A guided ride past Athens’ ancient ruins, neoclassical streets and neighbourhoods, on a regular bike or e-bike.
Riding covers far more ground than walking in the Athens heat: the route passes the Acropolis Museum, the Pnyx, the National Observatory, Kerameikos Cemetery, the Ancient and Roman Agoras, Plaka and Hadrian’s Library, with brief stops for photos and context at each.
It continues past the Panathenaic Stadium, the Zappeion, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the Arch of Hadrian, with an optional guided Acropolis visit and entry ticket available as an upgrade for those who want to climb the hill on foot partway through.
