Electric Bike Tour of Athens by Night
Athens, Greece
Check off the Greek capital’s top sights after the sun has set on this late evening tour of Athens by electric bike. Pedal through the city center and soak up the ambiance as locals and visitors alike amble along the timeworn streets. Cruise through vibrant neighborhoods such as Plaka (or Athens Old Town), passing ancient sights like the UNESCO-listed Acropolis of Athens and Panathenaic Stadium lit up against the night sky. Numbers limited to 11 on this 2.5-hour tour, ensuring a small-group experience.
Meet your guide in central Athens, then, after a safety briefing, pull on your helmet and hop aboard your bike, which has an electric motor for easier and faster riding. With your guide leading the way, cycle through the lamplit streets at a leisurely pace, allowing you to hear your guide’s commentary and take in the sights.
Soak up the bustling atmosphere as you pedal alongside locals and visitors strolling through the streets. Hear the soothing melodies of street musicians rising in the air and see the Greek capital’s ancient monuments illuminated against the cool, night sky.
Pause by the Hill of the Nymphs and marvel at the Acropolis of Athens, the UNESCO-listed citadel that looms over the city. Catch sight of the Parthenon, a former temple dedicated to the goddess Athena and the Acropolis’ crowning glory.
See, too, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus — a stone theater on the Acropolis’ southwest slope — the impressive Temple of Zeus and the parliament building in Syntagma Square. Other highlights include the Temple of Hephaestus, the Agora of Athens, Panathenaic Stadium (Panathinaiko Stadio) and a ride through Plaka, Athens’ picturesque Old Town.
After approximately two hours, your bike tour concludes back at the original start point.
Please note: A minimum of two people per booking is required.
We did the late evening night tour with the electric bike assist. The bikes were pretty fun and easy to operate! The tour guide took us through various key locations, biking through combinations of city streets and large empty roads. We also biked through a mini alley filled with restaurants and bars this was really interesting!. The reason for the 4 stars is due to the English. While the tour was understandable, his English was a bit difficult to follow at points, making it difficult to hear all the stories about the beautiful city.

We had an amazing time. It ended up being just my daughter and I on the trip. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, fun and interactive. He asked us questions and made the tour personable. We saw all the key sites of Athens and without the crowds of the day. This was our second electric bike tour as the bikes are so easy vs. regular bikes. Would do it again at our next city.

I booked this for 2 adults and 2 teenagers, really good idea as a holiday activity. The tour takes you through cobbled pedestrian streets of Athens as well as main roads so helps if you are a little experienced in bike riding. You see the main sights at night, Roman Agora, Ancient Agora, Acropolis, Plaka, Olympic Stadium to name a few. The guide Sotos was really patient and accommodating as one of us was bit of a nervous rider. He had a good sense of humour and we managed to have some interesting chats about Athens on route. The electric bikes can be a little tricky to handle as they can go faster than you expect and some of the streets were very busy with people so some confidence in riding needed. We paid around 32 per person for a 3hr tour, price while not extortionate could be a little cheaper. In all it's something different to do, the kids loved it and you get to see the city lights.

We liked the tour by electric bike. Don't expect authentic historical facts, but he covered the basics for an overview of sites. What made this enjoyable was the friendliness of George, our tour guide and the ability to cover a lot of ground. The only thing I would change is the directions. Perhaps a sign to guide tourists down the side street. Very confusing and we had to ask many people how to find the unmarked place.

This tour was outstanding and our guide was wonderful. I plan on writing a great review on trip advisor and cruise critic.

The E-Bike was a very welcome change of pace from what we had already done in Athens. We were able to see so much of the city while not having to endure the daytime, July heat. Our guide, Maria, was very nice, provided us with waters to bring with and we were lucky to be the only 2 people on the tour.

This was the best way to end our two week Mediterranean cruise. The bikes were easy to ride and our guide was very knowledgable and funny. We saw parts of Athens most do not see. Thanks George.
