Detailed description

Special Athens bike tour with yoga lesson outdoors and panoramic view of the Acropolis

Cycling through the historic city of antiquity awaits you, accompanied by an experienced cycling guide who will provide you with lots of interesting information about the historical buildings and the history of the city. The city tour on two wheels takes place in small groups with a maximum of 7 people. Once at the meeting point, the trekking bikes are ready, you will receive a short safety briefing and the bike tour through Athens can begin. You will see the most famous sights of the city and the Greek and ancient flair will do their part to make the city of the gods enchant you! Sufficient photo stops are inserted so that you can fill your holiday album with great motifs.

You drive to Constitutional Square, also called Syntagma Square, where the large parliament building is located, which in the meantime also served as the Royal Palace. Every Sunday the elaborately staged changing of the Greek guard takes place there, similar to that at London's Buckingham Palace. Together with your guide we comfortably continue to the Zappeion on the outskirts of the city centre. The neo-classical building impresses with its special construction and its imposing inner courtyard, which is framed by columns. It is a popular venue where important political events have already taken place, including the signing of Greece's accession to the European Community in 1979.

The Athens bike tour to the city highlights leads you to the National Garden, which borders directly on the Zappeion. The former castle garden is equally popular with tourists and locals. It captivates with its lush vegetation, the beautiful palm-fringed avenues, rose arches, cacti and much more. After a short drive you will reach the famous Panathinaiko Stadium. The first Olympic Games of modern times were held here in 1896. It was reached at the same place where a stadium was already in antiquity. The imposing building will amaze you. You cycle to the Acropolis with the Parthenon and the Acropolis Museum, which will certainly be one of the highlights of the excursion. Of course, the two popular districts of Monastiraki and Plaka are not to be missed on the Athens bicycle tour. Monastiraki is a colourful and popular urban area with many cafés, shops and restaurants, the centre of which is the square of the same name. Every Sunday a flea market takes place there, which regularly attracts numerous visitors. Plaka is the oldest district of Athens, located at the foot of the Acropolis. See this and much more while cycling through the streets of Athens.

Uphill to the popular Filopappou Hill, famous for its breathtaking views over the city and the opposite "holy hill" on which the Acropolis sits. Especially the Parthenon temple surrounded by columns can be easily seen from there. A certified yoga teacher is already waiting for you there. The 45-minute session with stretching and relaxation exercises is specially designed for cycling. Yoga in this special setting with a magnificent view of the city's landmark - a special feel-good experience and a crowning finale! The Athens bike ride is just the right thing for all those who want to experience a somewhat different city tour. It is more comfortable and faster than walking, so you will discover a lot during this half-day exploration tour.

Of course you can also rent a bike in Athens and explore the city on your own. But what could be better than being guided through the Greek metropolis by a guide who knows the city inside out and knows it like the back of his hand!
