Itinerary
Explore with us the hidden neighborhood of Anafiotika. This is the oldest neighborhood of Athens, what was actually a "built over night" neighborhood by its residents, the talented marble restorers of the ancient monument of the Parthenon and the Acropolis. Travel back in time, through the narrow streets that only a motorcycle can pass by. This neighborhood took its name from the island of Anafi. This is a picturisque neighborhood outside the common tourist map. We will share with you stories of the neighborhood while riding in narrow streets that ressemble a cycladic istand. About 65 residents live in this Acropolis neighborhood, in a scene that reminds of Mykonos. Narrow streets, white small houses with bougainvilleas and geraniums give a special color to the area. What the older ones considered a "poor man's paradise" that spoiled the aesthetics of the city today is a romantic spot that only a few are aware of. We will stop for photos.
The neighborhood that surrounds the Acropolis, a region that will turn you back 300 years when modern Athens started being built. We will enjoy the quiet alleys surrounded by traditional buildings & we will pass through Ancient Greek and Roman monuments. You will have the unique opportunity to experience this experience from the safe and comfortable seat of our sidecar. Our drivers are Athenians born and raised here. Plaka has a lots of picturesque and traditional spots for pictures and we will give you the ability to enjoy this unique ride in the pace you will choose. Plaka took its name from its Arvanite colonists during the Turkish occupation and in the Arvanites language it means old city. Today, it is considered a very chic neighborhood with traditional taverns, cafes and stores that are enjoyed by the Athenians and its tourists during the whole year.
It will fascinate you in the first moment we will complete the climb with our motorcycle among the pine forest at the Paryfes of the hill. The rock as we call this hill with the magnificent view of all of Athens and the Acropolis took its name from the ancient word Lycava that means annual, a hides at the annual celebration of ancient God. A ONLY HOUSE IN 277 METERS ELIMATER, SUBSTANTIAL, ACCOUNTED BY THE AKROPOLI THAT WILL GIVE YOU UNDERSTANDING THE AKROPOLIS. Amazing location to enjoy the view of the city from other tourists. A REAL SECRET OF ATHENS.

Nothing better than to see Athens off your feet and through the eyes of locals! They zipped us through the best neighborhoods and to the 'must-sees' -- and when my elderly MIL (in the sidecar!) couldn't walk far enough to reach a museum during one stop, they pivoted and took us someplace else. Very accommodating, very knowledgable, very nice. Heads up: it's a bumpy ride (the streets of Athens need some attention) and the traffic can be brutal, but these guys navigate it with ease. Highly recommend!
This was one of the highlights of our entire trip to Athens! There were three of us, including our 13 year old son. We were picked up directly at our hotel and immediately felt welcomed by Demetrious and Jorge. My husband and I rode in the sidecar while our son rode on the back of the motorcycle, and he thought it was the coolest thing ever. The tour was an absolute blast from start to finish. We saw the changing of the guard, the university, beautiful areas of the city we never would have found on our own, and some of the most incredible views of Athens, including breathtaking views of the Acropolis and Parthenon. The sidecar experience itself was so much fun and provided a unique perspective of the city. What really made the tour special, though, was Demetrious and Jorge. They genuinely cared about making sure we had a great experience. They were friendly, knowledgeable, professional, and clearly passionate about what they do. It felt less like a tour and more like exploring Athens with friends who wanted to show us the very best of their city. If you’re visiting Athens, do not hesitate to book this tour. It was fun, memorable, family friendly, and unlike anything else we did during our trip. We would absolutely do it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Athens.
Great attentive service. Met us at our hotel with helmets and took us through traffic up the hill to wonderful views. The owner was one of our drivers and he was giving us info about different sights on our way up and down the hill. Even gave us a recommendation for great dinner in town that night. At the top of the hill, Our daughter slipped, scraped her ankle, and he got us a big of ice to put on it. Would recommend for others to get up Mount Lycabettus
Thank you so much
We had a truly wonderful experience on this tour. The guide was very friendly and engaging, and the driver was excellent — we felt completely safe and well taken care of throughout the ride. The whole experience felt unique and different from a typical city tour. It was not just about seeing places, but really enjoying the moment and the atmosphere. This is definitely one of those experiences that will stay with us and make us smile whenever we think about Athens. Highly recommended!
Thank you so much
My 12 year old son and I came to Athens expecting ancient ruins, olives, and the best tasting gyros. What I didn’t expect? Falling in love… with a vintage motorbike. The moment I hopped onto the beautiful bike, I felt like I was starring in my own retro European film. I rearranged the tour a number of times (very last minute!) due to the poor weather forecast, but nothing was a problem! Stelios arrived on very short-notice and on time. He was a gentleman. Riding through Athens like this is something else entirely. You don’t just see the city—you feel it. The breeze, the buzz, it’s all part of the charm. Stopping off at certain points to take photos and view the scenery was great. Would I recommend it? Absolutely. Just remember to practice your 'cool nod' when others admire your vintage bike aura.
Thank you so much
I came across this unique experience by chance and am glad that i did. THIS WAS COMPLETELY FUN!! Racing down the streets of Athens at high speeds but smooth ride due to the low centre of mass and extra wheels of a sidecar was an absolute riot. And the drive up and down Mount Lycabettus was phenomenal too, with the views of Athens getting better and better. Had an excellent time and would recommend this to anyone looking for a unique, memorable and extremely fun thing to do in Athens. Also a shoutout to my bikerider Nicos, who was a total pro and shared fun anecdotes as well as recommendations on enjoying Athens like a local. I have recommended this to my friends as a Must-do experience. 5 out of 5 Stars from me!
Thank you so much
Dimitris was absolutely wonderful and a great guide. I had a wonderful time. So far my best experience of Athens! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much
Thanks a lot to our driver Nikos for making this an usual and very special sightseeing tour through Athens! You can be assured all the eyes of the pedestrians are on you 😁 The owner Dimitris arranged all well and made sure we were picked up at the hotel on time 👍 Thanks for making this one special for us 🙋
Thank you so much
It was a fun, exhilarating drive. I had great videos and pics! I wish I didn’t pick a time of rush hour, so take that into consideration. You’ll be sitting in traffic… breathing other cars’ fumes… but besides that, it was really amazing and i still recommend it.
Thank you so much
Absolutely wonderful! Apart from being a truly unique way to see central Athens off-the-main-streets, the side car 90’ tour made for lifetime memories. Dimitris was delightful, kept us well informed and provided useful insights and suggestions for the rest of our short visit. Ride up and views from Lycabettus are not to be missed. Any safety concerns vanished after a quick briefing and the first minute of the ride. We truly don’t want this trip to end.
Thank you so much
