Program details
Come and discover the classical sights of Athens on your very own mode of transport – a Trikke, a specially designed three-wheeler electric tricycle. Completely safe and suitable for all ages, you will first receive a short practice session to familiarise yourself with the Trikke and a few tips on general safety. Then we head on our way. Your guide has all the knowledge to help you and answer your questions whilst you explore the fascinating delights of this ancient city.
The route takes you along the quieter streets of Athens, where we can see such unforgettable sights such as the UNESCO listed Acropolis, the Tower of Winds, an early Roman weather vane and water clock within the ruins of Roman Agora and the site of the first modern Olympic games, the Panathenaic Stadium. Ride gently through Syntagma Square where you come across the Greek Parliament, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, the Presidential Palace and its own Presidential Guard, with their distinctive red berets, on duty outside. Visit as well the old Town area of Plaka where you get a real feel for the everyday lives of the local Athenians going about their day amongst the bustling markets, bars and cafes.
Because you set the pace for this tour, it’s your choice entirely when you want to stop to have a quick drink or snack and to take those special photos or videos so you will have some wonderful memories of this unusual and very special trip.
