Overview

This ride starts in the historic center of Athens and ends back there, after a long stretch of electric-assist riding beside the water. We Bike Athens runs it as a ride of roughly three hours that leaves the old city behind, joins a modern cycling path, and reaches the coast within about half an hour of pedaling. The motor does most of the work, so the distance stays comfortable even in heat.

The route begins near Kerameikos, the city's ancient cemetery and one of its quieter archaeological zones, then rolls out along the seaside path toward Flisvos Marina. There you can see the Olympias, a full-scale reconstruction of an ancient Athenian trireme, and, if you wish, step aboard the Floating Naval Museum ship Georgios Averof, which closes on Mondays. From there the group rides past yacht-filled marinas to Edem Beach for a break with views over the Saronic Gulf, where a swim is possible if the weather and your swimwear cooperate.

It suits travelers who want a break from columns and crowds, and anyone curious about the modern, seaside side of the city. The tour runs in English, French, Spanish and Dutch, and returns along the same route.
