Description

Get ready to meet your tour leader at the heart of Athens, at the foot of the Acropolis Hill before starting your exciting tour during Athens' golden hour. After a safety briefing and a short introduction of the tour, ride towards Philopapou Hill and discover the breathtaking panoramic views of the city of Athens from the National Observatory as the sun has already begun its descent. Ride towards the cool neighborhood of Thission and check out the ancient cemetery of Kerameikos before passing by the Ancient Greek and Roman Agoras. Explore the buzzing local favorite areas of Psirri with the numerous coffee shops, restaurants and street food places and then move to the local souvenir market in Plaka neighborhood. After cycling to numerous other important landmarks and local areas, get ready to explore a well hidden area that looks as if it was taken right out of a Greek island postcard in lovely sunset hues! As the sun lowers even more, cycle over the wide pedestrian paths of the Zappeion Hall and get a glimpse of the birthplace of the Olympic Games, the fantastic Panathenaic stadium. Follow the path towards the Presidential Mansion for a short stop during which you will have the chance to watch the ceremonial event of the change of the guards, a unique experience not to be missed. Reach the last stop of this magnificent tour just before the sun sets behind the Acropolis and get to marvel at the sky's beautiful color in front of the Temple of Zeus and over Hadrian's Arch which will serve as the perfect frame for the most beautiful photos you will take in Athens!
