A new way to get around Athens. I’ve not tried it personally yet, but I love scooting, so…
Sometimes navigating the streets of Athens can be a bit like a scary video game. Potholes, trees, badly parked cars, aggressive drivers and slippery sidewalks all seemingly ‘out to get you’ can make it a bit of a nightmare for the uninitiated.

I have fond memories of scooters from my childhood. It is lovely to see them revived.
