Ancient Athens by bike, with less heat and more ground covered

A bike covers far more than a walk in the Athens heat. The route passes the Acropolis Museum, the Pnyx, the National Observatory, Kerameikos, the Ancient and Roman Agoras, Plaka and Hadrian's Library, with short stops for photos and context.

It continues past the Panathenaic Stadium, the Zappeion, the Temple of Olympian Zeus and Hadrian's Arch. A guided Acropolis visit with entry is available as an upgrade.

Best for

  • Seeing a lot of Athens without the midday slog
  • Riders who want an e-bike option
  • An active few hours outdoors

Highlights

  • Regular bike or e-bike, helmet included
  • Acropolis, Olympian Zeus and Panathenaic Stadium
  • Views from the National Observatory
  • Optional guided Acropolis upgrade
