Best of · CITY BIKE TOURS IN GREECE
Good city bike tours in Greece fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 9 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Ride central Athens with guides such as Kleanthis, Dimitris, Kostas, and Karolis on a mostly easy route past ancient sites, local streets, and photo stops. Choose a regular or e-bike, then add a 1.5-hour guided Acropolis and Parthenon visit for a fuller day.
“Marios was friendly , knowledgeable and made the tour enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour”
Ride an electric bike through Athens with guides such as Marios, Felix, or Stephanie, stopping at the Panathenaic Stadium, Plaka, and ancient ruins. Then trade your bike for a licensed walking tour of the Acropolis, Parthenon, Erechtheion, and Temple of Athena Nike. Choose the ticket-included option for easier planning.
“Our bike guide Felix was outstanding, he kept a great pace and was full of interesting details. The E-bike was easy to ride and had plenty of power to get around the city easily. Our Acropolis guide, Damos was also fantastic, he taught us the history while showing us the sights”
Ride an electric bike through central Athens for two hours with guides such as George, Ste, Rea, and Yota. Expect sunset views from the Hill of Nymphs, illuminated ruins, Plaka streets, the Panathenaic Stadium, and useful local tips.
“Fantastic way to see the sites while also learning about he history. Definitely should be the first thing you do!”
Ride through Rhodes Old and New Town with Christos or another local guide, using an e-bike to handle cobbles and hills. See the Palace of the Grand Master, Mandraki Harbour, medieval gates, the Acropolis, and a sunset viewpoint. Morning tours replace sunset with cooler light and easy sightseeing.
“Christos was a fabulous guide and this bike tour is so worth doing as it is a great way to orientate yourself to the town of Rhodes. The old town inside the castle is vast with cobbled streets, alleyways and hidden squares. You would not find these places without Christos and cycling saves your feet! The E bikes are easy to manage and the sunset at the end was spectacular .”
Ride with Christos and a small group of up to six through Rhodes Old Town, the moat, Mandraki Harbour, Elli Beach, and Monte Smith. Your e-bike, helmet, water, snacks, coffee or tea, and tour photos are included. Choose a morning ride or time your tour for sunset.
“Wonderful medieval city. Very knowledgeable tour guide Great second tour guide who made sure the mad traffic did not overrun us”
Ride through central Athens in a group of no more than 10, using an electric bike and live audio headset. An English-speaking guide leads you past ancient ruins, Plaka, Hadrian’s Arch, the Kallimarmaro, and the Presidential Guards, with water and a koulouri snack included.
“Fantastic. One of the best tours we did. Vas was knowledgable and a super person on top. We absolutely loved it and we learned a lot!”

In about 2 hours 45 minutes, you’ll pass Kerameikos, the Ancient Agora, Acropolis viewpoints, the Olympic Stadium, Presidential Mansion, Zappeion, and Temple of Olympian Zeus, with water, helmets, and headsets included.
“This tour with Solebike was fantastic. Our guide was lovely, so personable, and the tour very informative and fun. Great way to really get an overview of the city and the major sights - and riding the e-bikes is fun! The owners of the bike shop were super personable and lovely as well. All three of us had a great time and we highly recommend this!”
Ride from Adamas with guides such as Joey, Raf, and Nick to the Catacombs, Ancient Theatre, Plaka, and Sarakiniko Beach. This small-group e-bike tour mixes archaeology, village lanes, coastal views, and a swim. Bikes handle the hills, but you still need confidence riding on roads.
“Loved it. Overall tast of Milo's and e-bikes so good. Joey and Rafael great”

Pick a kind of day, or a city with a lane on every street.
