Athens Excursions: Category Boat Trips
Less than half an hour from the centre of Athens, the Athens Riviera is a wonderful world at your feet. A bathing landscape of turquoise blue sea, white sandy beaches and many possibilities for boat trips. Private or in a group, with Greek wine or BBQ on board, at sunrise or as a bathing excursion, with catamaran or classic sailing boat.
The most popular Athens boat tours lead to the famous Greek islands off the coast: Hydra, Poros and Aegina, where you can expect almost untouched beaches, beautiful temples and new adventures. Discover the Athens Riviera on a half day cruise or full day sailing trip. Sail through the Saronic Gulf overlooking the Acropolis and relax in one of the enchanting bays while swimming and snorkelling.

If you prefer a little more privacy, book a day trip on a luxury skippered yacht and sail with friends from Athens along the beautiful coastline. For a special occasion, take a Sunset boat trip from Athens to the Cape of Sounion, where you'll learn more about Poseidon and the temple built for him, while watching one of the most spectacular sunsets against this fantastic backdrop. You can also rent a boat in Athens, explore the beautiful coastline on your own, with or without a driver's license. Whichever option you choose, water trips around Athens are a great addition to an eventful city holiday.

Athens Excursions: Category Sports and Active Holidays
If you would like to spend an active holiday in Athens, then get on your bike and get into adventure! Whether you are an ambitious biker or a sociable panoramic cyclist, Athens and the surrounding area can be explored wonderfully on various routes. For experienced mountain bikers we recommend a guided bike tour to Parnitha National Park, through a wild landscape up to the highest elevation in the surroundings of Athens. Correspondingly great is what you can see from above. If you combine sport and sightseeing, take a Sunset-E-Bike-Tour to the Athens coast and see the colours and panoramas.

And if you want to galantly avoid the hassle of long walks in Athens, change to a Segway for sightseeing at the Acropolis. Roll relaxed from one sight to the next, be guided through the streets by a tour guide, stop at the Temple of Zeus or the National Garden, cross Syntagma Square, climb Pnyx Hill with the Segway or marvel at impressive monuments in the heart of Athens.
