Bike tours
Guided bike tours through central Athens and down to the coast of the Athens Riviera, starting near Acropolis metro station. Bikes and helmets are included, and tours run every day of the year.
A bike covers more of Athens in a morning than walking does, and it reaches the quiet streets between the big sights. Our bike tours start in the centre near Acropolis metro station and follow an easy route with a tour leader who knows the city well.
Which bike tours do we offer?
- Athens city bike tour: about 2.5 hours through Plaka, the ancient sites and modern Athens, with regular stops where your tour leader explains what you are looking at.
- Athens city and coast bike tour: about 4.5 hours from the centre along a bike path to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, Flisvos Marina and a beach stop for a swim, daily at 09:00.
The pace is relaxed on both, and the group rides together the whole time.
What is included?
- Bike and helmet: provided for every rider.
- Tour leader: one leader for up to 12 riders.
- Insurance: third-party liability insurance.
- Tips for later: a list of things to do in Athens after the tour.
Do you need to be fit or experienced?
No. You need to be able to ride a bike with confidence in a group, but the route and the pace suit most fitness levels. We confirm the minimum age when you book, so tell us if you are coming with children.
When does the tour run?
Every day of the year, with morning and afternoon departures whose times change with the season. Tours run rain or shine, and in very bad weather the start can be moved by up to an hour.
Who is it for?
It works well on your first or second day in Athens, because it shows you how the centre fits together and where you might want to go back. Couples, families with older children, friends and small company groups all join. Larger groups should contact us before booking.
What should you bring?
Comfortable clothes and closed shoes, sunglasses, sun cream and a bottle of water. In summer we recommend a morning departure to avoid the strongest heat. Bring a light rain jacket in winter.
