Overview

This three-hour ride puts you on a three-wheeled electric trike, a machine that needs no balancing and very little effort once you get the hang of it. The tour starts with a 10 to 15 minute introduction so everyone feels comfortable before rolling out. From the office near Plaka, the group glides through pedestrian streets toward the Roman landmarks of the city, passing the Temple of Zeus and Hadrian's Gate, the old boundary between ancient Athens and the Roman world.

The route then reaches the Zappeion Megaron and the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games were held, before cutting into the quiet pathways of the National Garden, once used by the Greek royal family. A frequent favourite is the stop at the Presidential Guards, the Evzones, whose slow-motion changing of the guard in traditional dress makes for a strong photo moment. Riders finish back at the starting office, where there is a toilet, free Wi-Fi and cold water.

It suits families, first-timers and anyone short on time who wants to cover more ground than walking allows. A helmet, bottled water, a training session and a tour leader are included. Entry tickets to archaeological sites are not, and this tour does not go inside any of them.
