Description

Start your electric bike ride at the Dionysiou Areopagitou pedestrian road on a 4.5-hour tour that connects some of the most important sights in Athens, including the Acropolis Museum, Areios Pagos, Odeon of Herodes Atticus, Filopappos Hill, Pnyx, the Ancient Agora and Kerameikos. Leaving the archeological area behind, you’ll ride along the bicycle lane, cycling through popular areas such as Kallithea, Petralona, and Taurus, developed in the late 19th century. Soon approach the construction site of the new Opera House that will also host the National Library. As you continue on you’ll have superb views of Faliro Bay. The esplanade leads you to the Naval Museum, where you’ll see the battleship Averof and a replica of an ancient Greek trireme. Then you’ll enter the imposing Flisvos Marina, which hosts some of the biggest yachts around. Cycle along the coast, where Athenians would spend summer vacations. Holidaymakers would stroll along the magnificent boardwalk listening to the orchestra playing music in front of the Aktaion Palace, a luxurious hotel that remained open until the 1970s. Before ending the tour, you’ll have plenty of time to swim and relax at the beach, which was the first integrated swimming beach in Athens, established almost 150 years ago. There, for the first time, men and women were able to swim together. Following your swim, head back to the center of Athens on a relaxed ride by electric bike.
