Program details

Why book this tour:

Only in the last year's visitors found out that the Riviera is a very particular aspect of Athens, with its vibes, refreshing scenery and a new set of coastal attractions, all of which we offer here, along with the experience of cycling on the long bike lane and an invitation for seafood tasting.



1st Part

A beautiful ride to the coast: One of the most exciting ways to ride from the historical centre to the coast. The ride brings us to some typical districts of Athens that were developed during the early industrial period of the city.



2nd Part

In the shade of the New Opera: We visit the new dominating attraction of Athens. Niarchos Cultural Centre is a bioclimatic and stylish building that hosts the Opera and soon the national Library. You will have a short self-guided tour around the venue.



3rd Part

Athens Riviera: Right after the Naval Park we reach the waterfront and ride under palm trees next to a nice long beach. We go

through Yachts at the Marinas and alongside the dock that is a traditional spot for Athenians sitting on the rocks with fishing rods.



4th Part

Edem Beach: It is time for leisure. At this beautiful beach, we can enjoy the sun, have a swim in the blue water or relax in the shade of the restaurant. We have lunch on the waterfront enjoying the majestic view of Faliro bay. We take the road back to the office.

Good to know

This is a long tour, about 18km and children on a regular bicycle must be fit. The tour goes off Traffic on the bike lane and wide sidewalks. This is an ideal choice for a more leisurely type of trip rather than historical sightseeing.



During the lunch stop, you have plenty of time to enjoy swimming next to the restaurant by a sandy beach.
