What to expect

Discover Athens, the Port of Piraeus, and the coastline of the Athenian Riviera at your own pace with a hop-on and hop-off ticket for four different bus lines. Explore the Greek capital at your own pace with a hop-on hop-off bus tour that provides easy transport to key attractions like the Panathenaic Stadium and the Parthenon, part of the Acropolis. The tour is also cut out for those of you staying a few more days in Athens; take advantage of the 2-day ticket to further explore the city in your leisure time. The highlights of this tour are the Acropolis, the Acropolis museum, the Parthenon, Plaka district, the Parliament and the Panathenaic Stadium.

Blue Line – Piraeus. If you are fresh from the cruise, you can start your journey at either of the Cruise Terminals in the Port of Piraeus, just a stone's throw away from the cruise ship. You may admire attractions such as Pasalimani, the yachts’ marina, and Mikrolimano, the ancient harbor of Piraeus. Orange Line – Athens. The orange line roams by the most beautiful attractions further down the city centre. You may see the Plaka District, the most traditional area of Athens, and mingle with the vibes of Ancient Greece. Yellow Line – Glyfada. From the Niarchos Foundation to the Marina Alimou, the Glyfada Line is a blending of history and modernism. Enjoy the sunset from Marina Flisvou, or swim and sunbathe in Agios Kosmas. Green Line – Vouliagmeni. Vouliagmeni may have been associated mostly with beaches, but the area is a history lesson on its own. From the Allied Forces Cemetery to the Byzantine Museum, Vouliagmeni Line is certainly worth a visit.

What’s more? The hop-on-hop-off tickets give you total flexibility to further explore Piraeus and Athens sights as the bus passes by them. The ticket also grants you the opportunity to visit the Museum of Acropolis. You will have to get off at the stop "Acropolis" and obtain an extra ticket from the staff to gain access to the museum. All buses have low-floor easy access with a designated wheelchair space. Free earphones are provided onboarding.

    I felt that there should have been more audio information about Athens being playing on the headphones. Also, there were a few seats where the audio would not play, because the headphones did not fit in the plug!

Ateenan yksityinen puolipäiväretki sisältäen Akropoliin ja Plakan

Antiikin kreikkalaiset jättivät Ateenaan muistomerkkien, patsaiden ja esineiden aarreaitan. Tällä yksityiskierroksella tutustut oppaan johdolla kaikkiin tärkeimpiin nähtävyyksiin. Kohokohtiin kuuluvat roomalainen Agora, Hadrianuksen kirjasto, keskiaikainen Plakan kaupunginosa ja Unescon maailmanperintöluettelossa oleva Akropolis. Vassiliki, yksi asiantuntevista paikallisoppaistamme, kertoo: "Akropolis tarkoittaa "korkeaa kaupunkia", ja sillä viitataan yleensä mihin tahansa kukkulan huipulle rakennettuun asutukseen. Kreikassa on monia kaupunkeja, joissa on akropolis, mutta Ateenan akropolis on varmasti niistä tunnetuin."Aloitat opastetulla kierroksella akropoliilla, jonne pääset jonon ohi sisään. Ihaile näkymiä Areiopagilta – kukkulalta, jossa kreikkalaiset jumalat legendan mukaan pitivät hovia. Anna oppaasi herättää historia henkiin, samalla kun ihailet antiikin maamerkkejä, kuten roomalaista agoraa, Dionysoksen teatteria sekä Asklepieionin ja Parthenonin yhä pystyssä olevia pylväitä. Sen jälkeen matka jatkuu Plakaan, joka on pääkaupungin viehättävin ja historiallisin kaupunginosa. Sen mutkittelevat kävelykadut kuhisevat sekä paikallisista ja vierailijoista, ja siellä on lukuisia tavernoita, joiden pöydät levittäytyvät kaduille. Vassiliki sanoo: "Ateenalaiset kutsuvat tätä aluetta "jumalten asuinalueeksi", sillä se on ollut asuttu jo antiikin Kreikan ajoista lähtien. Itse asiassa kaivaukset osoittavat, että alue ei ole juurikaan muuttunut antiikin ajoista."

Hydra Island boat trip including free time in the town
Retket

Hydra Island boat trip including free time in the town

Take in one of the most appealing islands in the Saronic Gulf with this boat cruise. Sail across the Aegean Sea and come ashore to explore Hydra – an ancient port of call where cars and motorbikes are banned. Irini, one of our local guides, says, ‘Donkeys are the most common transport on Hydra, and you'll see them lined up like taxis, waiting to carry your heavy cases or shopping bags for you. For the island's population they are an essential part of the infrastructure, and they definitely add charm to the port town.' After pick-up from your hotel, we'll travel to the port of Ermoni. Once aboard the boat, you can sit back and soak up some sunshine as we sail across the Saronic Gulf to Hydra. There's so much history in this part of the Aegean as it was an important ancient trade route. Irini says, ‘Hydra's prosperity grew in the 18th and 19th centuries, when it became a major hub for shipping and trade in the Eastern Mediterranean. The island's skilled sailors and shipbuilders established Hydra as a dominant force in the maritime industry.'When we arrive at the car and motorbike-free island of Hydra, you'll have free time to explore. You can linger in the harbour to spot colourful fishing boats bobbing on the sea, stroll past sugar cube houses on the hillside, or venture into the town's maze of cobbled alleys for a coffee or some shopping.
