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.

Half-day private tour of Athens with Acropolis and Plaka visits

The ancient Greeks left behind a treasure trove of monuments, statues and artefacts in Athens. And on this private tour, you'll take in all the top spots with an expert guide. Exclusively for you and your party, you'll tour highlights including the Roman Agora, Hadrian's Library, the Plaka neighbourhood and the UNESCO-listed Acropolis. Vassiliki, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Acropolis means “high city” and it usually refers to any settlement built on top of a hill. You'll find many towns in Greece that have an acropolis, but the Acropolis of Athens is certainly the most famous.'You'll start with a guided tour of the Acropolis – with skip-the-line tickets, there'll be no waiting around. Soak up wow-factor views over Athens at the Areopagus – a rocky hill where legend has it the Greek gods would hold court. Let your guide bring history to life as you marvel at ancient landmarks like the Roman Agora, the Theatre of Dionysus and the still-standing columns of the Asklepieion and Parthenon. Then, it's on to the city's Instagram-worthy old quarter, Plaka – the capital's most appealing and historic neighbourhood. Always thronged with a mix of locals and visitors, the pedestrianised lanes are brimming with tavernas whose tables spill onto the streets. Vassiliki says, ‘Athenians call this area “the neighbourhood of the Gods,' as it has been inhabited since the days of ancient Greece. In fact, excavations show that the street layout has barely changed since antiquity.'
