Your guide will meet you at the cruise port of Piraeus and will escort you to your air-conditioned transportation ready to commence your tour.
This popular full-day tour of Athens allows you to see all the famous sights of Greece's capital city and allows you time to shop in Plaka, the very popular shopping area situated at its centre.
