Top Athens Day Trips - page 35

The capital of this small island, Poros, has a large number of neoclassical buildings that were built amphitheatrically on the side of a mountain. Cobblestoned streets and white houses with red roofs and wooden balconies, all adorned, with pots full of flowers, colors, and scents. There are many interesting things to do in Poros. For example, you can visit the archaeological museum, founded in 1960 and located in Korizi Square or the interesting Poros Sea Shell Museum. The church of Agios Georgios, a tiny but charming church full of wall paintings of contemporary Greek artists, is worth a visit.

What are people saying about Athens

Ryan_S, Apr 2026

A Beautiful and Fun Experience

The tour was fantastic and full of so many great stories and pieces of context for each landmark we saw. The tour guides Theodore and Emily were so fun and full of energy, and any time we had a minor setback with timing they managed to keep things fun and interesting. If you’re ever in Athens, I would highly highly recommend this tour, the temple is gorgeous, the sunset you will see here is among the most beautiful you can see anywhere, and it’s just an incredibly fun and memorable time.

There are a couple stops to grab refreshments. Wear sturdy boots or walking shoes, as Mycenae can be slippery if it's been raining. Our guide was great and informative including a great lunch recommendation in Nafplio. We did another tour with Ammon Express the next day based on our experience.

Meteora Monasteries & Caves DayTrip from Athens with Greek Lunch

Mary_C, Apr 2026

Meteora A WIN!!!

This was a jaw dropping experience and so stunningly beautiful. We had so much fun. Clement was our guide and he was by far THE BEST guide I’ve had anywhere!!! So engaging with his delivery, packed with passion and info, and at the same time personable and VERY attentive to the needs of the guest on the bus Yes loooong bus ride but broken up with stops And so worth it!! Coming again to hike the trails next time!

Delphi Guided Small Group Day Tour from Athens

Susan_G, Apr 2026

Worth the drive!

Of the 9 hours estimated for this excursion, at least 5 are spent driving to and from Delphi, but you get a stop each way and the scenery is beautiful. Delphi itself was really interesting and very scenic, with a good museum where your guide sets the stage before taking you to the archaeological site. Spring is definitely the best time to visit both because of lower temperatures and lighter crowds, but also because there were wildflowers growing across the site. Our Delphi guide was a local who knew a great deal about the history of the site. Our tour lead, Panayota, and driver, Alexander, were both great and made the drive pass quickly by talking about Greek mythology and history of the places we passed through on the way.

Absolutely amazing tour...

Absolutely amazing tour guide! Vangelis was incredibly knowledgeable and you could really tell how much he loves history. He made everything come alive. He welcomed questions and even took the time to look things up if he wasn’t sure. Very engaging, and always made sure we were comfortable. One of the best guides I’ve ever had!

Wonderful Tour and Guide

Tour was fantastic! Christos was our guide and he was extremely knowledgeable and charismatic. He picked us up at our Airbnb and showed us around Mars hill and Corinth, and answered any questions we had. My grandparents loved it especially since they got to see a lot without too much walking.

Athens Scenic Electric Bike Tour with optional Acropolis visit

Jessica_E, Mar 2026

Great time

I am not one to rave about tours but our guild made this tour so fun. We were left high and dry when our private bike tour cancelled on us last minute. Luckily Athens by bike had an opening and we were able to enjoy this fun tour. Great people, great vibes, great sites! Great way to get an overview of the city during a brief stay in Athens.

Temple of Poseidon and Cape Sounion Sunset Tour with Audio Guide

Margarita_M, Mar 2026

Incredible view!

The bus was comfortable and the driver a true professional. Our guide, Thanos, was courteous and knowledgeable. The view from the Poseidon Temple was incredible & worth the bus ride! Each person is given am electronic device with a headset and through it you hear about what you are seeing on the road in whatever language you choose. The English version , however, was recorded by someone with an accent so I had a little difficulty understanding everything that was said. That said, indeed I would do it again!

Athens & Acropolis Highlights: Greek Mythology Small-Group Tour

Joannie_Y, Feb 2026

Fantastic tour! The...

Fantastic tour! The Athens & Acropolis Highlights small-group experience truly brought Greek mythology to life. Kali, our guide, was knowledgeable and engaging, and the stories added so much depth and meaning to visiting the Acropolis and Agora. The agency was also extremely helpful with arranging our entrance tickets — everything was well organized and clearly explained. The small group size was a big plus, as it allowed plenty of time to ask questions and really engage with the guide. It wasn’t inexpensive, but it was absolutely worth the money. Highly recommended!

Great day on the water

We had a great time on this activity. It was a beautiful day and we were pleasantly surprised at how great we were treated. Sam, Mo, Elizabeth and the captain took great care of everyone and insured a good time. It was a nice break from the city activities and very relaxing. We started the day with pastries, coffee, juice, etc. We made 3 stops, plus a stop for a quick swim off of the boat. Noodles, snorkeling gear etc were provided. In between there was an amazing lunch buffet served with such a delicious variety of foods.
