Athens: E-Bike Tour with Street Food

About this experience

Athens e-bike tour with street food: what to expect Book this Athens e-bike tour with street food and see the ancient and modern city in one easy ride. Over 3 hours 15 minutes, a tour leader guides your group through the centre on mid-motor electric bikes, so the hills and the heat feel far gentler than on a regular bike or on foot. You hear the commentary through a receiver and earbuds as you ride, stop for photos at the big sights and refuel with a classic souvlaki, a gyros pita wrap, along the way. It is a great first-day tour if you want to get your bearings quickly. You cover far more ground than a walking tour, linking neighbourhoods that would otherwise take a full day to explore. The route: from Hadrian's Arch to Plaka Start at Hadrian's Arch and see the Temple of Olympian Zeus Ride past the marble Panathenaic Stadium, known locally as Kallimarmaro, home of the first modern Olympic Games Stop at the Zappeion and watch the changing of the guard at Syntagma Square Take in the noise and colour of Varvakios Central Market Cycle through the street art and cafés of Psiri and pass the ruins around Thission Climb the Areopagus hill for a sweeping view of the Acropolis See the Tower of the Winds at the Roman Forum, taste souvlaki and wander through Plaka Finish at the Lysicrates Monument, close to the Acropolis What is included in your ticket Your ticket includes a mid-motor electric bike, a cycling helmet, bottled water, a route map, a tour leader with a transmitter, a receiver with earbuds so you never miss the commentary, and a souvlaki (gyros meat pita wrap). Gratuities for your tour leader are optional and not included, and any other food or drinks are at your own cost. The tour starts at Lempesi 11 (Λεμπέση 11) in Makrygianni, a short walk from the Acropolis Museum. Arrive a little early to get fitted with your bike and helmet. Wear comfortable clothes and closed shoes, and bring sunglasses and sun cream in the warmer months. Good to know before you book The electric assist makes the ride suitable for most reasonably active adults, even if you do not cycle often, but you should be comfortable riding a bike in city traffic. Always follow your tour leader and wear your helmet throughout. The tour is not wheelchair accessible. You can cancel for free up to 24 hours before the start time and get a full refund.
