Stunning Views of Athens and Sea - Riding with Kostas makes you feel like an Athenian as he knows the back routes and shortcuts to reach the mountain through the city. Once reaching the foothills and making the ascent, the views are breathtaking from many vantage points, and the smell of the pines are an olfactory delight. The descent is exhilarating, too! Lastly, catching the sunset and the golden sky to end the ride was equally breathtaking. Highly recommend for people in good physical condition. It’s a trip to remember!
