This private shore excursion is guaranteed to operate with a minimum of 2 passengers.

Private tour

You will be met at the Piraeus or Lavrion port to begin your tour of Athens, the capital and largest city in Greece and one of the world’s oldest cities; with at least 3,000 years of history.

Pass the remains of the Temple of Olympian Zeus and Hadrian’s Arch, built by Roman Emperor Hadrian in 131-32, as you make your way to the Acropolis. The Acropolis, or “High City,” is a true testament to the Golden Age of Greece, that magical period at the height of Pericles’ influence (461- 429 BCE), when the intellectual and artistic life of Athens flowered. Seeing the ruins of the Parthenon, one of the archetypal images of western culture, is a revelation, yet utterly familiar.

The modern path makes a zigzagging ascent through the Beule Gate to legendary attractions such as the Propylaia, Temple of Athena Nike, the Erechtheion and the Parthenon.

From the acropolis, continue to the heart of Athens and Syntagma (Constitution) Square.
At the top of the square stands the Parliament Building, formerly the royal palace, where guards in their traditional costumes keep watch over the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

Continue past the Panathenaic Stadium and the National Gardens. Travel along University Street with its neo-classical buildings before heading back to Piraeus or Lavrion port to rejoin your cruise.

Travel Tips

Climate
Greece has a warm Mediterranean climate. In summer, dry hot days are often relieved by stiff breezes known as Meltemia, especially in the north and coastal areas. In the summer, Athens can be stiflingly hot, so visitors should allow time to acclimatize. The evenings are cool. Winters are mild in the south but much colder in the north. November to March is the rainy season.

The best time to visit is mid-May to mid-June and mid-September to the end of October.

Late June to September is hot, with low temperatures in the 70’s and highs in the 90’s. Winter months are generally fine for touring, but usually too cold to swim or lie on the beach. Average winter temperatures are a low of 44 and a high of 60. Greece has fairly little rain year-round.

Documentation
A valid passport is required for entry into Greece. A visa must be obtained from the Greek Consulate if you intend to stay for longer than 3 months. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months after your arrival into Greece.

Shots
Yellow fever certificate is required if you are arriving from an infected area.

Contact health authorities for the latest information.

Dress
Cool, loose cotton clothing is recommended for most of the year. In the winter a light coat and sweat shirt is advisable. Sun hat, sunglasses and plenty of fluids help to cope with the heat.

Currency
As a member of the EU, Greece’s currency is the Euro. Money can be exchanged at banks and hotels as well as money changers and ATM’s.

The electric current is 220 volts AC. The wall plugs are the round, two pronged European type; bring an adapter if necessary.
