Set off on an unforgettable full-day adventure that immerses you in the heart of ancient Greece and the stunning coast of the Saronic Gulf. This Piraeus shore excursion blends rich history, remarkable architecture, and breathtaking natural beauty for the ultimate Athens experience.

Begin with a visit to the Acropolis, ascending the Sacred Way to admire the iconic Parthenon, Temple of Athena Nike, and the Porch of the Caryatids. Take in views of the Greek Theater of Dionysus and the Roman Herod Atticus Theater, each steeped in cultural significance.

Next, enjoy a scenic drive past landmarks such as the Olympic Stadium, the Parliament Building with its Evzones guards, and Hadrian’s Arch.

Continue along the beautiful coastline to Cape Sounion, where the Temple of Poseidon stands majestically on a cliff, offering panoramic views over the Aegean Sea. Wander through its impressive Doric columns and soak in the ancient aura of this sacred site.

End your day with lasting memories of Athens’ grandeur and the serene coastal vistas before returning to your ship in Piraeus.

What should I wear for this tour?

We suggest that you wear comfortable walking shoes as there is quite a bit of walking involved on uneven surfaces.

Is this tour accessible for people with limited walking abilities?

The itinerary can certainly be customised according to your needs, but please note that some areas may not be accessible with a stroller/wheelchair or for people with limited walking abilities.

Which pickup time do you suggest from the port?

We suggest that you set an early pickup time, 7:30 am (in accordance with your ship's in port hours), in order for you to avoid the local rush hour traffic and have more time to enjoy your service to the fullest.

We provide services in luxury Mercedes and Volkswagen sedans, minivans or minibuses (depending on availability). For parties of 1-3 guests we normally use a sedan. For parties of 4-8 guests we use minivans. And for parties larger than 8 guests we either use multiple minivans or a minibus (depending upon availability).

The discount is automatically applied at checkout when booking two or more cruise port tours from different ports with our company. The discount is as follows: 30€ off each tour when booking 2 tours from different cruise ports, 40€ off each tour when booking 3 tours from different cruise port tours, 50€ off each tour when booking 4 tours from different cruise port tours. The multi-tour discount is not combinable with any other discounts or offers.

What if my cruise ship cannot dock?
