Greece · SHORE EXCURSIONS IN ATHENS
The good shore excursions in Athens fill up first, especially in July and August. Below: the 5 to book early, what each includes, and how they differ.
Open-top Athens hop-on hop-off bus to Syntagma, Acropolis, Piraeus and the coast, with 24/48-hour passes and 13-language audio.
“The information given about the sites was very informative. Also,the bus drivere and employees were very helpful with directions on where to stand and approximate time of the bus arrival.”
A private, full-day Athens shore excursion from Piraeus with an early start, skip-the-line ticket help, and stops from the Acropolis to Monastiraki.
“The entire day was wonderful due to the expertise of MAKIS., our driver. His knowledge of Greek history was amazing. He also had maps and photos to help illustrate all that he was telling us. Overall it was an amazing day. Thank you to Viator, and especially MAKIS.”
Walk from Piraeus to the Acropolis with expert guides, timed entry, and Plaka free time. Great views, but expect big walking and strict timing.
“Wonderful tour to get a quick overview of Athens and visit the Acropolis. The tour guide was an encyclopedia of knowledge, with the right amount of entertainment and cynicism. It was very hot and he broke down the stops to make sure we had breaks in the Acropolis climb and as much shade as possible when he was providing information. We also had approximately two hours of free time to have lunch and visit la Plaka. Easy port pick-up. Well organized. Great day!”
Private 8-hour Athens shore tour from Piraeus, featuring the Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, Plaka, Agora, guards ceremony, and Lycabettus.
“This was a very good tour; covered all the highlights. Unfortunately for us, it started raining quite hard when we got to the Plaka, so we opted out of exploring that on foot. But our guide did drive us around there, so we could see it.”
A 4-hour private Athens shore excursion with luxury minivan, a licensed guide, and Acropolis highlights, plus Olympian Zeus and the 1896 stadium.
“PePe was our guide, very knowledgeable and passionate about Athens and history, especially about the musuem pieces. We are a bit hard of hearing and she had no mic/amplifier so unfortunately half of our group couldn't hear the details and became disinterested.... so I would suggest headsets for future”
Pick the kind of day first. Each list sorts the rest.
