Description:

Speedy, stress-free, and sustainable—an electric bike is a great way to explore the wonders of the Greek capital with ease. With a knowledgeable guide, cruise past well-known historic sites, and venture further than you could on foot to reveal the rich history and hidden gems of classic Athens.

With a small group of a maximum of 12 people and an expert guide, embark on a route that takes you to the must-see landmarks of the city, as well as the lesser-known sites and secret charming corners that only locals know. Hop aboard your comfortable 2-wheeled ride, switch on the electricity, and begin your journey by ascending the Hill of the Nymphs—formerly the site of a shrine dedicated to the nymphs of Greek mythology—and then up Pnyx hill, passing by Prison de Socrate along the way.

Once at the top, admire the views before descending downhill toward the ancient Odeon of Herodes Atticus. Continue past the theater of Dionysos and the New Museum of Acropolis, before heading to the Temple of Olympian Zeus, Arch of Hadrian, Panathenaic Stadium, and the Aerides district—home to the Tower of the Winds. Along the way, you have many opportunities to snap memorable photos and hear stories about the country's fascinating history.

After a brief refreshment break at the National Garden, explore the modern side of the city as your route takes you past the Greek Parliament, the Presidential Mansion, the delightful Plaka District, and Monastiraki flea market.
