Athens at its most appetizing

Get your fill of authentic Greek food and the ancient sights of Athens on the Private Athens Food & Bike Tour! This guided day tour takes in the Acropolis Museum, the Ancient Greek Cemetery of Kerameikos, Thission, the Ancient Greek Agora, Roman Agora, Plaka, Petralona, and Monastiraki Square, stopping for sumptuous food samplings along the way! Let your guide lead you where the locals love to eat, helping you to find the best food in Athens! On the menu are 4 main culinary stops, allowing you to sink your teeth into souvlaki, bougatsa, and plenty of other sweet and savory options. This is Athens at its most appetizing!

The Acropolis is the icon of Athens, and starts your bicycle tour off with a bang! From anywhere in the city you can admire this ancient citadel perched atop a rocky outcrop, the remains of several hugely significant buildings, including the Parthenon. See with your own eyes the most celebrated piece of Greek Antiquity anywhere in the world and tick the Acropolis off your bucket list! Your private bike tour will take you to both the museum and panoramic viewpoint.

Cycle on to the Ancient Greek Cemetery of Kerameikos, from whose name the English derived the word ‘ceramic’, referring to the Kerameis (potters) who worked in this vicinity north of the Acropolis. Here, learn about exciting excavations that have taken place on this ancient archeological site and take a look at the Themistoclean Wall, surviving from the 5th Century BC.

Your guided e-bike tour takes you on to Thission, a trendy neighborhood now abuzz with cafes and nightlife. Cycle along shaded streets past bohemian restaurants serving delicious authentic meze. Nestled between Phillipapou Hill and the Acropolis, Thission has superb views of both, as well as the verdant pine trees and grasses covering the hills. Here, you’ll find the Ancient Greek and Roman Agoras. The Ancient Greek Agora, sometimes called the Classical Agora, is the best known example of a Greek agora anywhere in the world, once used as a residential and commercial gathering space for the Ancient Greeks.

Pedaling into Plaka, discover a neighborhood with a vibrant village feel, tucked away in the shadow of the Acropolis. Your bike tour gets a little bumpy as you cycle the cobblestone streets, but you’ll be rewarded with an experience of authentic Athens, where family-run tavernas greet the locals, and street stalls sell hand-crafted ceramics and jewelry. The nearby Petralona neighborhood is a dynamic district boasting vibrant bars, old fashioned tavernas, and varied architectural styles. Your brilliant bike and food tour makes its final stop at Monastiraki Square, renowned for the Stoa of Attalos, Hadrian’s Library, and the Ancient Agora. It's a magnificent end to a truly tasty tour of Athens!
