Share this post:

Although Athens is a convenient city to explore on foot, it is also a fun place to get around on a bike. In fact, there are many organized tours over the last years that combine a visit to the most important archaeological sites in the city center plus some secret places that tourists usually miss. Here are the most interesting Athens bike tours that Greeka.com offers.

Athens bike tours: fun way to discover the Greek capital

This is the most typical of all Athens bike tours and allows a ride around the most central spots and interesting sites of the city. This is a fantastic bike ride, specially made for amateur cyclists as the majority of the cycling route is paved and has very limited car traffic. Our bike tour in the center of Athens starts and ends in the Acropolis region, making a round trip to the historical center of the city.

This means that we shall ride by important monuments and sites, including the Olympian Zeus Temple, the Ancient Agora, the Stoa of Attalos and the cemetery of Kerameikos, a great ancient site that is frequently left out from many guided tours. This Athens city centre bike tour is accompanied by an English speaking guide.
