Description

Discover the true essence of Athens on this relaxing and well-paced shore excursion from Piraeus Port — designed to let you experience more of the city without the stress of crowds or long lines. Start your journey from the cruise terminal, where you’ll meet your representative and board a comfortable semi-private bus. Enjoy a scenic drive through the elegant Kastella area, famous for its panoramic views of the city and the sea. Continue to the Stavros Niarchos Cultural Center, an architectural masterpiece designed by Renzo Piano. Explore the surrounding park and admire one of Athens’ most innovative modern landmarks. Pass through Nea Smyrni, a lively district full of local charm, before reaching the Panathenaic Olympic Stadium, home of the first modern Olympic Games. Take a short photo stop to capture its white marble beauty. Head to Syntagma Square to witness the famous Changing of the Guard — a truly iconic Athenian tradition held every hour in front of the Parliament. Next, enjoy a leisurely walk through Plaka and Monastiraki, the heart of old Athens. Stroll the cobbled streets, browse local shops, or relax with a Greek coffee in one of the cozy cafés. You’ll also have free time to visit the Acropolis on your own if you wish, before meeting your group near the Zappion Gardens for a smooth return to Piraeus Port. Important Note: Due to the high attendance, summer heat, and ticket cost, the tour does not include a guided visit to the Acropolis. However, you will enjoy excellent views and photo opportunities from various points of the city.
