Athens Dash is a race course in Mario Kart Tour. It is set in Athens, Greece and first appeared in the Spring Tour, making it the first city course to debut in a tour that is not named after the city featured in the course. The course visits various landmarks of the city it is based upon, specifically atop the Acropolis, and the various ruins atop it, such as the Parthenon and the Erechtheion.

There are currently two routes for this course. At least one route for the course, however, will take racers off of the Acropolis. So far, it is the only city course in Mario Kart Tour to debut in 2023, and the first city course since Bangkok Rush debuted twenty-one tours prior; the longest period of time between the debut of two Mario Kart Tour city courses.
