I have used this service on two trips back and forth from the airport to central Athens in the last few months (and have another one booked for later this month). On each occasion, the taxi has been punctual to the exact time, the drivers friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and professional. Everything has been perfect - the cleanliness, the Covid awareness, the actual journey - making it totally stress free. Each of the three drivers I have experienced so far ( Dimitris Makrakis, Stefanos Mavridoglou and Stelios Panagiotakis) have been superb.

Heb je de highlights van Athene al gezien of wil je even ontsnappen aan de drukte van de binnenstad? Met deze 3,5 uur durende tour fiets je vanuit het centrum naar de kust. Onderweg stoppen we bij het culturele centrum van de Stavros Niarchos foundation. Hier maken we een korte wandeling naar het dak voor een adembenemend uitzicht over de stad en de kustlijn. Na het bezoek aan het culturele centrum fietsen we via een brede brug naar de kust en bezoeken we de Marina Flisvos jachthaven. Tijdens deze tour vertellen onze Nederlandssprekende begeleiders je van alles over het leven in de Griekse volksbuurten, de Griekse strandcultuur en beantwoorden ze vragen die onderweg in je opkomen. Deze fietstour is ideaal als je al een paar dagen in Athene bent, of er zelfs al meerdere keren bent geweest.

This is I recommend warmly - and I would even book it again when come back to Athens, maybe after having also tried out the “Bizarre Greek Food” tour offered by the same team. It was so nice to be guided by Agathi to a variety of places, which all together made a whole Sunday morning brunch - and by the way having a very pleasant informative conversation about he city and the country and especially on Greek gastronomy. I just suggest not to eat too much the evening before nor anything else for breakfast..
