The experience

You're leaning forward slightly, feet planted, hands steady on the handlebars as the machine hums beneath you, and then you're moving, gliding past the Acropolis without the sweat of climbing. That's the Segway tour through Athens in a nutshell. Instead of choosing between the major sites and your tired legs, you cover the Acropolis, the Ancient Agora, the Temple of Olympian Zeus, and the Olympic Stadium in one morning or afternoon, stopping for photos and short stories at each one. The tour runs in small groups and starts from the office near the Acropolis Museum, where there's water and a bathroom before you head out.

What makes this different from walking the same route is simple: you move faster and see more without the effort. The guide points out details at each stop (the history of the stadium where the first modern Olympics happened, the layout of the ancient marketplace, the scale of what's left of Zeus's temple), but you're not standing in the heat for hours. You'll also swing through the National Gardens if there's time, and end at Monastiraki, the old neighborhood where the tour wraps up. The whole thing takes three to four hours, which means you can do this and still have the afternoon free.

One thing to know: you're not going inside the archaeological sites themselves. This is an outside tour, moving between them. And the Segway does have weight limits. You need to be between 100 and 250 pounds for it to work properly. Wear comfortable shoes anyway, because you'll be standing and balancing, and the helmet is included. If you've never ridden one before, the guide walks you through it at the start, so don't worry about that part.
