How do you discover a city you think you already know? How do you find hidden beauty in the chaos of everyday life? The answer is simple: you get in the car, press play on your favorite playlist, and let Athens unfold before you. Not the Athens shown in tourist guides, but the real one: contradictory, moving, enchanting, and chaotic at times. With Sync, this experience requires nothing more than the desire to explore the city.
Kypseli – Patissia – Agiou Meletiou: The Heart of Old Urban Athens
Start your day at Agios Georgios Square in Kypseli. Here, the city’s pulse still feels human, despite the apartment blocks and narrow streets. A small hybrid car from Sync is ideal for these neighborhoods — flexible and comfortable enough to find parking even next to a street market.
Drive down Patission Street to Agiou Meletiou. Old pastry shops, neighborhood cinemas that still exist because some people love them too much to let them go, and arcades that lead to unknown charms. Here, every alley and every balcony has a story to whisper. With a car, you can stop wherever catches your eye, without worrying about timetables or stops.
Pagrati – Mets – Kaisariani: The Romance of the Hills
Pagrati is a neighborhood that combines old Athens with the new culture of creatives. Stop for a coffee at Varnava Square and then drive toward Mets, where the uphill roads reveal views of Lycabettus and the Panathenaic Stadium. Park your car and walk among neoclassical houses.
With Sync, there’s no need to search for pick-up points downtown. The car can be waiting for you exactly where you want. This feature is perfect for anyone who wants to begin their exploration without delay.
As you head downhill toward Kaisariani, you'll suddenly find yourself in a different city. Low old houses, grapevines, and a feeling that time flows differently here. A short stop at the Kaisariani Monastery, nestled in the Hymettus forest, will convince you that Athens also hides silent beauties.
Agios Dimitrios – Nea Smyrni – Moschato: Borders and Transformations
If you continue south, from Kallithea to Agios Dimitrios, you’ll notice something rare: areas once considered run-down are being transformed by new residents, artists, and professionals. In Nea Smyrni Square, elderly men play chess next to students sipping matcha. Near Moschato, former workshops have turned into studios. Athens is changing, and with a car from Sync, you can watch it change in real time — going, trying, leaving, and returning as you please.
Peristeri – Aigaleo – Ilion: The Other Side of the City
West of the city, Athens shows a face few visitors ever see. Peristeri and Ilion are areas with squares that fill every night, with souvlaki joints open from morning until late, and streets that smell of jasmine in summer. No tourist guide will recommend a stroll through the western side of Attica because they stick to what they know — the same old tourist clichés. We want you to experience Athens and Attica like a local, with the freedom of a Sync vehicle!
The roads here are wider, and with a comfortable family car from Sync, you can bring your friends or family to see a different Athens. The great thing about the platform is that you can choose from dozens of vehicle types — from convertibles to 7-seaters — and pay without a credit card, just using your debit.
Perama – Drapetsona – Piraiki: The Silences of the Sea
And when you're done with road-bound Athens, it’s time for the water-bound version. Drive toward Perama, a place some are ashamed to mention but everyone wants to photograph. Old ships, scaffolding, distant lights, and smokestacks.
Head down to old Drapetsona and sit by the harbor waters. The scent of pine in the vast park, the humidity of the night, and the ships setting sail for the islands create an atmosphere you can only understand by being there.
With Sync, you can experience this without time pressure. There's no strict return schedule — often, you can make arrangements directly with the owner for delivery the next day or even later, if your plans change.
Athens Is Not a Destination – It’s a Journey
If there’s one thing in common across all Athens routes, it’s the contrast: from urban intensity to the pause of a hilltop, from neon lights to shadowy streets, from the rush of everyday life to the stillness in a neighborhood you never knew.
That’s why exploring Athens with a car from Sync isn’t just a means of transport. It’s a way to move at your own pace. The flexibility of the platform, the variety of vehicles, the ability to choose from real people instead of corporate call centers — all of this puts you in control.
Athens, like every big city, can drain you. Or it can enchant you. You decide whether to wait for it at bus stops or drive through it.
With Sync, the steering wheel is in your hands.
