Morning Bike Tour in Athens

Morning Sun Biking through Athens

Start your day with a morning bike ride around the historical city of Athens. A guide will lead you down the city's biggest pedestrian street near the Acropolis. Stop to learn a bit about this famous site's history and admire Acropolis Hill and the Parthenon from a distance.

As you continue peddling through the city, you'll make several stops at Athens' main attractions, including the National Observatory, the Ancient Greek Cemetery (Kerameikos), Thission neighborhood, the Ancient Greek Agora, the Roman Agora, and the Orthodox Cathedral. After a lot of fun cycling, take a break in the historic and picturesque Plaka neighborhood. Stroll through the streets, visit the artisan shops, or grab a traditional Greek coffee.

Next, continue through the National Gardens maze and view the Presidential Mansion right across the street. Then stop at the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games took place. After visiting the Neoclassical Zappeion Hall, you'll end the tour outside the Temple of Olympian Zeus and Hadrian’s Arch, a popular photo spot in Athens.
