“A break from the city during your Athens vacation - on a bike! - What a fun change of pace to bike ride to the beach while visiting Athens. Stavros was a great guide, very conscientious about rider safety in a city where cars dominate the road. This route is almost exclusively on a bike path. Bring your swimsuit as there is time for a dip in the clearest waters.” - Reviewed on 2024-11-17

“Easy e-bike tour, lovely ride - We wanted to do something outside the city centre and originally planned to go to Aegina but we changed our minds as we preferred something shorter than a full day (and really wanted to see the Stavros Niarchos cultural center) and that’s how we ended up choosing this e-bike tour. We were extremely lucky because it was just the 2 of us with our great guide Joey. Cycling was very safe and easy on a bike path most of the time. No helmet needed, which is definitely a plus.” - Reviewed on 2024-10-23
