About This Tour

Your ship is in port for one day — don't spend it in a queue. This private Athens shore excursion collects you directly from the cruise terminal, whether you dock at Piraeus or arrive at Rafina, and turns your hours ashore into an unhurried private tour in a premium Mercedes with an English-speaking chauffeur. Choose how far you go. The shorter route (around 5 hours) covers essential Athens — the Acropolis and the Parthenon, the Panathenaic Stadium, the lanes of Plaka, and a panoramic view from Lycabettus. The full day (up to 10 hours) keeps going, down the Apollo Coast to the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion, with a relaxed traditional Greek lunch by the sea along the way. Whichever you choose, the day is built around your ship's schedule and, above all, around getting you back on board with time to spare. Both Piraeus and Rafina cruise ports are covered, with clear fixed pricing agreed before you sail. The one promise we never break: you will be back at your ship, comfortably, before it leaves.
