About this excursion
Only one day in Athens from your cruise ship, or half a day free in the city? This private tour shows you the best of Athens in about five hours, with no strangers, no fixed bus schedule and no stress about the clock.
Your English-speaking driver meets you at Piraeus cruise port, your hotel or your apartment in a comfortable, air-conditioned Mercedes. Then the day is yours: walk up to the Acropolis and the Parthenon, explore the Ancient Agora, see the Temple of Olympian Zeus and the marble Panathenaic Stadium, watch the Evzones guards and wander the lanes of Plaka.
Your driver knows the city and its history and shares stories between stops. Drivers cannot enter archaeological sites, so if you want expert commentary inside the Acropolis, add a licensed tour guide on request.
A private car just for your group, a flexible route, and a driver who adapts to your pace, the heat and your ship's all-aboard time.
