We used Athens Walks. It was a great tour. The guide had an archeology degree and really added to the experience. https://www.athens-walks.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrumpyNor Posted December 20, 2022 #4 Share Posted December 20, 2022 If I understand you correctly and you are booked on a cruise that starts in Pireus, and want to do a half-day-tour before embarking the ship, then why not just stay in Athens the night before? You will then have much more choices for your half-day tour. And taxi from downtown Athens to Pireus cruise port (literally next to the ship) have a fixed price of €25.

Rare Sailing12Away Posted December 20, 2022 #5 Share Posted December 20, 2022 We booked several tours with this company when we were in Athens last year. Used them for airport transfers. Went in a day early so did a full day Meteora tour with them. Then when we were back for our stop in Athens on the cruise (our cruise left from Cyprus) we used them for a half day tour for a private tour of the South to a nice lake and the Poseidon temple with a stop for lunch. But yeah, this belongs in the port of call boards - you'll get more help there. https://www.premium-athens-transfer.com/book-athens-tours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted December 21, 2022 #6 Share Posted December 21, 2022 Stay in Athens. It's literally 8.2 miles from downtown Athens to Piraeus cruise port. You'll have many more options in Athens and it is very pleasant in the evening as well, dining in the Plaka, for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
