THE LANDSCAPE

A Promenade of Icons

THE ROUTE

Coastal Cycling and Harbor Warehouses

Cycling on one of the city’s few dedicated bike lanes, the tour covers the waterfront — a stretch where it’s possible to ride as much as 12 km — and includes a visit to the old warehouses in the city’s harbor.

THE FINISH

Seaside Coffee in Kalamaria

After a relaxed circuit of the waterfront sights and harborside warehouses, the ride ends with a coffee stop at the seaside in the little town of Kalamaria.
