Day 01
BMW Motorcycle Ride Along the Athenian Riviera
- Meet your Athens tour guide at the head office, where you will get acquainted with your BMW rental motorbike.
- Attend a short briefing on the tour and itinerary, and then set off on your Athenian Riviera tour.
- Make the first stop of the day at Lake Vouliagmeni. The lake sits about 50 centimetres above sea level, so it is constantly overflowing and being replenished by the hot springs beneath it. Its waters are brackish and full of minerals, and it is recognized as a wonder of nature because of its unique appearance and impressive surroundings.
- After a short break, cruise down the scenic Athenian Riviera towards the impressive Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, the southernmost point of Attica.
- Ride along a spectacular seaside route full of fantastic landscapes and twisty coastal roads.
- Spend some time on a nearby beach, where you can enjoy a nice walk, a coffee, or even a dive in the Aegean Sea before visiting the impressive temple. As with many other monuments and sanctuaries around Greece, the historical facts about the Temple of Poseidon in Sounion are intertwined with bits of legend.
- Have a short lunch, get back on your motorcycles, and head towards the Paiania Cave system known as "Koutouki." The cave consists of a single compartment divided into smaller parts by stalagmitic curtains. The whole area is decorated with stalactites, stalagmites, and columns in varying shades, creating a magical atmosphere. From here, you can enjoy panoramic views over the plain of Mesogeia.
- Finally, conclude the motorcycle tour by riding through the aesthetic Hymettus Park, a wonderful mountainous route overlooking the whole of Athens.
