🏛️ 1. Cape Sounio & The Temple of Poseidon
Distance from Athens: 70 km | Ride time: ~1.5 hrs
Follow the scenic coastal road of the Athenian Riviera, past Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, and Varkiza. The views are stunning, the road is smooth, and the final destination — the Temple of Poseidon at sunset — is unforgettable.
📝 Tip: Stop for a coffee or dip at Kavouri or Limanakia on the way.
🏞️ 2. Lake Marathon

A peaceful inland ride through greenery and rolling hills. The artificial lake and dam are perfect for a picnic or quick nature break. Light traffic, beautiful air, and a sense of calm — all just an hour from Athens.
