Athens City Tour

Extended City Tour of Athens

Cruise Ship Combo

Cape Sounion

Sparta/Mistras

Katakolon (Olympia)

Athens City Tour
The 1896 Olympic Stadium

The Athens city tour lasts approximately 4-5 hours and you will have the opportunity to see it's most popular highlights.

Acropolis At Night

Extended city tour of Athens

You say that you will have only one day to spend in Athens?  Then this tour is perfect for you and has become very popular, especially with people from the cruise ships.  Lasting about 8 hours, you will start off by seeing the Parthenon at the Acropolis built in the 5th century B.C.  Other highlights that you will see and visit in the city are St. George Lycabettus – the highest point in the city with it’s panoramic view, the Panathinaiko Stadium – where the first modern day Olympics were held in 1896, the first university and academy of Athens, the changing of the guards at the President’s Palace and the Temple of Zeus.  A trip to Athens is not complete without a visit to the oldest neighborhood in the city “Plaka” with its maze of narrow, shop-filled streets. In the Plaka area  you will see and visit the Tower of Winds, Roman Agora and Ceramiko.   The National Archaeological Museum is also included on this tour – one of the world’s finest museums.  Enjoy a great lunch at a taverna NOT visited by the tourists.  There you will be able to try a wide variety of Greek dishes at very reasonable prices.  Many clients have told me that this was the best meal of their cruise!

Cruise Ship Combo

Many cruise ships make a stop in Athens for only a day.  If you have 9 - 10 hours in port, why not try the "Cruise Ship Combo"? A combination of the City Tour and Cape Sounion is a perfect way not to waste any valuable time while you are docked in Pireaus. See all the sights in Athens in the morning, make a stop for lunch and then in the afternoon see the Temple of Poseidon at Cape Sounion. You will be back to your ship in time for departure, leaving you with fond memories of a day you will remember always. As with all of my tours, it’s up to you where you would like to stop along the way to have a closer look at something or to take some pictures. Your once in a lifetime Greek adventure is just an e-mail away……………….

Go to start

Sparta/Mistras

 We begin by travelling along the Saronic Gulf’s coastal road to the Corinth Canal. The Canal is a structure of great importance, as before it was built, ships sailing between the Aegean and Adriatic Seas had to circumnavigate the Peloponnese, adding about 185 nautical miles to their journey.   After seeing the canal, we make a quick stop in Ancient Corinth where St. Paul spoke to the Corinthians.  When we reach Sparta you will see the huge statue of Leonidas made popular by the movie "300".  See the remains of the palace and the theater there.  Next, we move on to Mistras, the capital of the Byzantine Empire, with its churches and monasteries overlooking the Spartan plains.  Return to Athens in the evening.

Ancient Olympia from Katakolon

Will your cruise ship be making a stop in Katakolon? 

 Andreas, with his A/C  Mercedes taxi can be there waiting for you at the port to take you for about 5 hours to see the sights in Olympia.  First you will see the Alpheios Dam.  Another stop is made at a new amphitheater.  This theater, made of stone, was built to remind you of the ancient times and holds 4000 people. The panoramic view is fantastic and on a clear day it is possible to see your ship at the port.   Visit Ancient Olympia which gained its fame as a sanctuary of Zeus and Hera. The site also contains a wealth of other small shrines, gymnasiums and sculptors' workshops. According to tradition, here is where the Olympic games were founded in 776 B.C..  It is from here that the Olympic torch is still lit and carried to whatever corner of the world the modern Olympiads are held in.  In the museum see exhibits of unique sculptural masterpieces, such as Praxiteles' Hermes, Paeoneus' Victory, Apollo and many other art treasures.
