Leeag Posted January 26 #1 Share Posted January 26 We will be disembarking Sun princess in Athens on September 7, 2024. The itinerary shows we dock at 6 am, I have a full day tour scheduled with George’s Taxi. They want to schedule a 7:30 am pick up time at the port. Is that doable since our ship has 4,000 passengers. Thanks for any input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CruiserBruce Posted January 27 #2 Share Posted January 27 Yes, it is doable. In any event, you own that vehicle and driver. They will wait if you are a few minutes late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeag Posted January 27 Author #3 Share Posted January 27 I have to purchase my own tickets for Acropolis and they want me to purchase the 8:00 to 9:00 am time slot, I guess I’m more concerned about those tickets if we run late. Thanks for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your input. That is a question of perhaps booking too early for the Acropolis. You should be allowing at least 20 minutes, more like 30 to get to the Acropolis. They will let you enter after 8am... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Hlitner Posted January 27 #6 Share Posted January 27 I actually like the early Acropolis time (very doable with your own taxi tour/driver). It avoids the later crowds and also gets you to that site before the sun/heat makes many uncomfortable. Pireaus is actually an efficiently run port, so getting off (and through the terminal) should not be a big problem. Hank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare cruisemom42 Posted January 27 #7 Share Posted January 27 I agree with Hank, and in addition, the earlier you can get to the Acropolis, the better experience you'll have. I do not think you'll have any problem getting off the ship by 7:30, and quite possibly earlier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
