One of the oldest cities in the world, Athens is a supreme blend of modern and ancient, famous and lesser-known landmarks. An e-bike tour is a great opportunity to cover several of these landmarks in a more efficient way and in a shorter time than walking around the tourist-favorite city. An experienced tour leader will lead the way, sharing insights on the sights seen as well as valuable tips for the remainder of your Athens stay. Comfortable, pedal-assist bikes will ensure that you don't end up huffing and puffing and enjoy a relaxed ride.

Next up is the Presidential Mansion. See the ceremonial military unit of the Presidential Guards, widely considered one of the best Athens experiences. Move on to the Panathenaic Stadium where the first ever modern Olympic Games were held before admiring the palatial Zappeion Hall. An important Neoclassical gem, the hall hosts both official and private meetings or ceremonies. The tour will end at the striking Temple of Zeus and Hadrian's Arch, another great vantage point for wonderful views of the Acropolis.
