The ride begins with the city gently unfolding — narrow lanes opening to bright plazas, the Acropolis sitting above like an age-old landmark watching the traffic below. On a 9 km loop at a relaxed pace, riders move from the shaded streets of Plaka to wide views above the city, stopping for short walks, photos and neighborhood corners that most visitors miss.
