Full description

Explore Athens, the Port of Piraeus, and the coastline of the Athenian Riviera at your own pace with a hop-on hop-off bus ticket. Benefit from easy transportation to key attractions, such as the Panathenaic Stadium and Parthenon at the Acropolis. Travel on 4 lines for 1 day, including Athens (Orange Line), Piraeus (Blue Line), Glyfada (Yellow Line), and Vouliagmeni (Green Line). Get acquainted with the Greek capital's most beautiful sites and enrich your cruise or vacation experience. Recorded commentaries in 16 languages will provide historical, cultural and social information about one of the most ancient capitals of the world.

Blue Line - Piraeus

  Ideal if you have just arrived on a cruise, you can hop on the Blue Line at either of the cruise terminals in the Port of Piraeus, just a stone's throw from your cruise ship. See attractions such as the yacht marina at Pasalimani and the ancient harbor of Mikrolimano. Don't miss out on the impressive new Museum of Acropolis and walk up the hill to admire the Parthenon at the top. The bus takes passengers directly to the most eminent monuments of Athens and Greece.

Orange Line - Athens

The Orange Line roams by the most beautiful attractions further down the city center from the Acropolis and Parthenon. Explore the historic Plaka district and discover the most traditional area of Athens. Visit the gate of the Roman emperor Hadrian. See the Temple of Olympian Zeus and admire the largest temple in Greece from Roman times. Go to the Hellenic Parliament on Syntagma Square and look at its impressive guards. Stroll through Ermou to experience the busiest shopping street in Athens. Visit the Panathenaic Stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games were held. Go to the National Library to marvel at an outstanding building of great historical value. Drop by the National Archaeological Museum, or roam around the picturesque area of Monastiraki and its Flea Market. Take a walk through the quaint neighborhood of Thission. 

Yellow Line − Glyfada

Enjoy a tour of the Athenian Riviera, starting from the Planetarium stop of the Blue Line. Find out how the bewildering desert of the 1900s has evolved into one of the most cosmopolitan areas of Greece. From the Niarchos Foundation to the Marina Alimou, the Yellow Line blends history with the modern. Watch the sunset from Marina Flisvou or swim and sunbathe in Agios Kosmas. From the Glyfada Terminal, you can wander around the most cosmopolitan suburbs of the capital and shop at the luxury department stores. Wind down in a beautiful cafe and don't miss out on the beach bar where you can enjoy a cocktail by the seaside. 

Green Line − Vouliagmeni

Vouliagmeni may be better associated with its beaches, but the area is also a history lesson in its own right. From the Allied Forces Cemetery to the Byzantine Museum, Vouliagmeni is certainly worth a visit. Relax at the beautiful beach of Kavouri Oceanis, one of the most popular beaches in Athens. Go to Vouliagmeni Lake to discover one of the city's most popular spots. Don’t miss out on the thermal baths and admire the breathtaking surroundings.

I actually thought service was excellent but marked it as good so that provider hopefully will take note of my feedback. Can you please add a stop at the great shops near my port you mention in the commentary. You tell all the ladies about the shops but we have no way of getting there with your service. Would rate it excellent plus then. Team members excellent and friendly and helpful

Athens is great and the traffic was crazy. Sit up top and high five the Trees. The drivers are okay personally. But if you like a crazy nice chaos like Mexico city mixed with Florida this place and inexpensive transportation is well worth it. You can't get a Rollercoaster ride as cheap as this and it's free all day. Only ride Yellow and blue the red buses will treat you like your peasants because it's competition and they get tired of the blue/yellow buses riders asking if they can hop on. If you are a beach snob stay away. This place is great for those who like cool people, not uptight people. Find a cafe/restaurant that plays humble traditional Greek music and relax every once in a while. Oh yeah check out the Parthenon. Just do it in less than 100/39 degrees if possible. I did it in 111/44 degrees but it was worth it.

Had our last day in Athens and were walked out. We took the hop on /off bus and rode all day, taking in the sights in and around Athens. Very relaxing on the bus. However, getting on the bus at the Acropolis stop needs to be improved. When it is busy I can only imagine the chaos and pushing to get on. People think only of themselves and arrive when the bus is ready to board and push themselves to the front to ensure they get on and get best seats. The 3 bus routes were good and great seeing all the way down the Greece Riviera. We stopped off at end point by the lake, had a sit on the beach, had a beer in restaurant overlooking the Agean sea. Piraeus route was good also and showed parts of piraeus that we hadn't seen. Great relaxing way to finish off our vacation. Good value for money.
