Athens by bike is a yes! - Athens is a big city best explored by bicycle. We pedaled past the changing of the guard, outdoor vegetable markets, and cultural landmarks. Best part was stopping for a swim in the sea. Bike paths made the travel safe and Maria made the trip fantastically fun. It was a big YES
