If you like the outdoors, this tour is for you. A great way to get a taste of the city and beaches of Athens. Kleanthis (or 'K' as we called him) was a fantastic guide--very knowledgeable and an excellent cyclist. We rode thru Plaka, seeing more than we would have been able to on foot. We biked to Kalamaki Beach, where we stopped for a break at Cape Sol Cafe. There you can grab a cold drink or dip your toes in the Gulf. On the ride back, we stopped for a sampling of Greek pies (Spanakopita??), which were delicious. A very fun time was had by all.

We had a great morning with Kleanthis Palaiologos. The trip was enjoyable - not too hard or hot. We stopped at the end at a beach bar and had a cold drink before heading back. He kept us all together and pointed out really great sites and provided a wealth of information. We went off the beaten path a little and saw things we didn't expect. It was a wonderful way to kick off a few days in Athens.

We did this tour today with Kleanthis, and it was a great experience! He took the time to explain what we were going to see, and did several interesting stops on the way to the seaside. My husband and I would highly recommend it!

Marios was a great guide. It was a pleasure to do the ride with him (just me on the tour) . The ride wasn’t steep at all, but with the electric bikes it was so relaxing.
The route is bike safe and it was clear the safety was Marios’ primary focus.
Highly recommended as a tour to take with time and space free.

Enjoyable ride that lets you experience Athens outside the Acropolis. Not physically demanding, though, riding experience in towns recommended.

I was lucky to be on a bike tour led by a local named Kleanthis. A very knowledgeable and easygoing person who fluently navigated through sometimes busy and narrow streets of the city making our way to some highlights of the tour where I could take photos, ask questions and just enjoy the view. He shared a lot of interesting facts about living in Greece and about the city in particular, gave a lot of recommendations on further exploration. Also we stopped for a delicious pie and a coffee.
What's also important: the bikes were very decent and it was a pleasure to ride them even though sometimes the paths were hilly.
