About this experience

A ride along the Athenian Riviera is the safest bike ride in the city while accessible even to the most reserved rider.

In this 24 kms route you’ll get the chance to enjoy the whole unique metropolitan bike trail of Athens. Although we will still be in the heart of the city, the landscape will be much more friendly than that of a downtown. We’ll get to see the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center that hosts the National Library and the Water Square. Part of the Olympic Games was hosted there in Athens 2004.

We will also see the Nautical Museum Greek Battleship Georgios Averof and the marinas of Flisvos and Alimos, two of the biggest marinas in the Balkans. A short stop at the beach of Kalamaki will follow for a unique photo shooting in front of the blue and green waters of the Saronic Gulf and the beautiful island of Aegina. If the weather allows -as always- you must not miss your chance for a dive in the fantastic water.
