The tour exclusively follows low-traffic roads and designated cycle paths. Your local guide safely leads you through the city and along the coast and shares many an exciting anecdote along the way.

Shortly afterwards, we reach the cycle path that leads us to the coast. We cycle through the varied city quarters of Petralona, Kallithea, and Moschato. These beautiful districts captivate with their urban flair.
After a 45-minute ride, we reach the southern suburbs and visit the magnificent Stavros Niarchos Foundation.

We cycle on and soon reach the Naval Museum and the impressive Flisvos Marina, where we can marvel at the multitude of luxury yachts moored at the docks.
