What to expect

Are you ready to discover Athens and the Acropolis at your own pace? Prepare to get on board of a bus that will take you in every corner of the Athenian Riviera!

Thanks to this hop-on hop-off bus tour you will explore the city of Athens with four different bus lines. You will also have the opportunity to visit the Acropolis and its Museum. Choose the line you want to start exploring the Athenian area. The ticket also grants you the opportunity to visit the Parthenon & the Museum of Acropolis. With your ticket, you can both visit one of the greatest monuments of the world and experience its carefully restored treasures in one of the best modern museums. To gain access to the museum you have to get off at the stop "Acropolis" and obtain an extra ticket from the staff there.

Blue Line – Piraeus: 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. Don't miss out on the impressive new Museum of Acropolis, and walk up to the Acropolis hill to admire the Parthenon

Orange Line – Athens: The orange line roams by the most beautiful attractions further down the city center. You may see the Plaka District, the most traditional area of Athens, and mingle with the vibes of ancient Greece. You can also visit the Gate of the Roman emperor Hadrian, and the Temple of Olympian Zeus, the largest temple in Greece during the Roman Times. At Syntagma square, you can admire the Hellenic parliament with its impressive guard line.

Yellow Line − Glyfada: from the Niarchos Foundation to the Marina Alimou, the Glyfada Line is a blending of history and modernism; a combination of the culture of old days and entertainment of our times.

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.

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.'
