Arriving by cruise? No matter what ship you come on, you can explore the best of Athens from a double-decker hop-on hop-off bus. The route takes you past the city’s most famous landmarks so you’ll get a clear sense of Athens’ history and character as you move through its neighbourhoods.
Along the way you’ll see the Temple of Zeus, the Acropolis and Parthenon, the National Library, the Ancient Olympic Stadium and the National Gardens, among other key sights. An informative on-board audio commentary explains ancient Greek mythology and philosophy, so you’ll pick up context as you travel. You may hop on and off as many times as you please within the chosen time period, and the sightseeing tour includes access to up to three different bus routes depending on the ticket you choose.
