Full City Cycling Tour
Description
A tour for somewhat experienced cyclists who want to explore the most interesting parts of Athens that can be seamlessly cycled. Finishing this tour you will have explored most of the center and the most beautiful part of the south of Athens giving you a small glimpse on everything that is Athens. Neither just a tourist destination or a quiet place just for locals but more of a mixture of the two.
You can expect 25-35 km of cycling and an ever-changing landscape from thousand-year old ruins in the midst of the center to cycling next to the sea and walking around some wonders of modern architecture like the National Opera House.
Things you’ll see
The list of the things we’ll come along this tour is huge so we will include just some of its highlights and the rest, well, you can discover them while on your bike.
- Monastiraki Square
- Roman Agora
- Plaka, Anafiotika
- National Gardens
- Panathenaic Stadium
- Temple of Zeus
- Odeon of Herodes Atticus
- Hill of the Muses

Additional Info
This tour can potentially last up to 5+ hours and could be up to 35km (21 miles) so we would recommend some prior cycling experience. Especially in the summer we tend to start this tour very early so we can avoid higher temperatures.
Nevertheless we do believe that most people can pull it off if we take it slow, take breaks and skip some locations.

Frequenty Asked Questions
FAQ
Yes of course! You can find the private option at the booking section.
For this tour we would actually recommend choosing the private option as it is taxing and somewhat more difficult that the other ones and we are literally exploring the whole city, so by going private we’ll have the option of deciding on the spot about how fast or slow the tour should move or what places you’d like to skip.
Private gives you the chance to connect more with your guide, to chat about anything that interests you.
We do not recommend this tour for our younger friends since it takes a lot of hours and changes a lot of landscapes and combined with the possibility of high temperatures, this has the potential for a child to get pretty tired. Please check one of our other tours instead!
We, as a company and as people are all for sustainability. We do believe that lithium batteries are not necessary to have fun and cycling is, something all of us should do. People of all ages have done it and experienced Athens in a grounded, slightly slower manner while getting some light exercise as well. Reducing your carbon footprint is easier and more fun than you think, trust us on this one.
This is the third item’s accordion body. It is hidden by default, until the collapse plugin adds the appropriate classes that we use to style each element. These classes control the overall appearance, as well as the showing and hiding via CSS transitions. You can modify any of this with custom CSS or overriding our default variables. It’s also worth noting that just about any HTML can go within the, though the transition does limit overflow.
Yes, there are! Just contact us and let us know about the size of your group and we’ll get back to you with an offer and recommendations on routes that are more fun for larger groups!
Of course there are. Any bookings done at least 30 days ahead of the tour get 10% off.

The knowledge of the guides is really superb. We liked not only to be in the center of the city, but also cycle in the suburbs. Even though Athens is not a cycling city, it is an absolutely great way to explore and gain an overview.
