OVERVIEW

Enjoy the cities of Athens and Piraeus independently from the top of a brown double-decker get-on get-off bus. This is the perfect way to take in the amazing architecture, history and culture of these cities while you listen to audio commentaries available in +10 different languages. Switch from the Piraeus line to the Athens line, where you’ll find a city full of historical and cultural monuments and sights. You’ll have the chance to explore attractions on your own, including the new Acropolis museum, the Archaeological museum and the picturesque area of Plaka and Monastiraki, full of neoclassical buildings, archaeological findings and souvenir shops. Enjoy the flavors of souvlaki, a beloved Greek street food. After immersing yourself in the vibrant sights and sounds of Athens, return to your ship from any of the 4 designated stops.
