Use a secure camera strap
Narrow streets and sudden stops make it easy to drop devices; tether cameras or phones.
Watch for pedestrian traffic
Drivers will navigate alleys pedestrians use — stay seated during movement and keep hands inside the sidecar.
Time your ride
Choose morning or late afternoon to avoid peak heat and heavy traffic in central Athens.
