★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 29 reviews · 5.5 hours · from $100

Cruise-port pickup for a guided Acropolis and Parthenon mythology tour with audio devices, plus optional Acropolis Museum time and Athens free time.

“Just so one’s aware, the cost (if you don’t book the extra entrance to the museum) is for about a 1 1/2 hr guided excursion. The rest of the time includes travel time to their office, and free time while they’re taking others into the museum. I liked having a guide, but thought it was expensive for how little they are actually with you.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 27 reviews · 330 minutes - 6 hours · from $56

Heraklion day trip to Kera Kardiotissa, Lasithi windmills, Greek Mythology Park with tastings, plus optional Zeus Cave.

“Die Tour ansich war echt gut. Nur bei der Zeus Höhle war eindeutig zu wenig Zeit. Man muss bedenken das man wenn man jetzt nicht sportlich ist oder vielleicht sogar Asthmatiker wie ich bin, dass man auf jeden fall ne halbe std für den Aufstieg berechnen muss. Wir standen dann auf jeden Fall nochmal 15 Minuten für die Tickets an. In der Höhle selbst hat man nochmal 200 Stufen vor sich nach unten und dann wieder nach oben. Das war zeitlich schon nicht mehr mit drin. Wir haben dann nach ca. 50 Stufen abgebrochen und sind wieder raus aus der Höhle. Dann nochmal ca 20 Minuten zurück nur bergab. dran…”
