What are people saying about Athens

Andrea_J, Jul 2026

Wonderful morning sailing, swimming and eating

Our catamaran cruise with Sailing Athens was the highlight of our trip! Captain Christos and the entire crew were outstanding—friendly, professional, and made everyone feel welcome from start to finish.The swimming stops were beautiful, with crystal-clear water and plenty of time to enjoy each one. The food on board was incredible—honestly one of the best meals we had in Greece, even better than many of the restaurants we tried in the Plaka! Our boys, Ethan and Alex, are still talking about this experience. If you're visiting Athens, don't miss this cruise. It was worth every penny and created memories we'll never forget. Thank you, Captain Christos and the Sailing Athens team, for an amazing day! 🇬🇷

Athens Day Cruise: 3 Islands Tour in the Saronic Gulf with Lunch

Christine_B, Jul 2026

Fantastic sail in the Saronic.

A wonderful excursion to three islands, on a great vessel with an amazing crew. It was an amazing trip in the Saronic Gulf. We had sufficient time at each island; each unique, along with swimming in the Agean sea. I want to thank our tour quide; Fay, who gave great explanations of the area, our captain, the ships additional attendents, and our incredible chef; what a delicious feast. All were very personable and truly enhanced the journey.💙 I highly recommend this tour.

Mary_S, Jul 2026

Highly recommended for anyone, especially cruisers

It was wonderful to be picked up from our ship in a Mercedes station wagon. Plenty of room.to stow our luggage, private tour, clean and recent car. Senis was a fantastic guide, helping me with a situation I had and giving us lots of information about Athens and its history. He took us to about 7 sites, including the Acropolis and stadium, explaining how to view each one and their significance. We arrived at the changing of the guard with perfect timing. The lunch was delicious, the servers friendly and helpful. The food and wine were plentiful. It was relaxing to get a private car pickup from the ship for the transfer to Athens and have a super sightseeing experience and lunch.

Great tour with very...

Great tour with very knowledgeable and kind guide who took good care of us in the heat and crowds. He really brought the past to life and was very patient answering all our questions. The two parts - Acropolis and museum - are great together but might be too much for some people.

Athens: Acropolis, Parthenon and Acropolis Museum Guided Tour

Arianna_T, Jul 2026

Amazing Experience

This activity was very enjoyable! Our tour guide Paula was very knowledgeable and kind. This activity taught us a lot about both locations and allowed us to really appreciate these monuments. I would recommend taking water with you and wear shoes with good tread. The pathways are slippery in certain points.

What a great experience! The tour guide was excellent. Loved her manner and the way she explained everything. I enjoyed listening to her explaining Greece history. Also her awareness of safety was throughout the trip. The view of Acropolis was as expected beautiful! Definitely worth it!!!!

Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis

Peter_G, Jul 2026

Athens is smaller than it looks

E bikes allow you to travel comfortably over the hills and Jim led an extensive and enjoyable tour. We rode high to the observatory for the best view of the acropolis and he made sure we got all the pictures we wanted. Peter we even got a song out of him (he’s an opera singer as well). Some streets are narrow and full of pedestrians but we got through ok. We added on the acropolis tour, which looked daunting at the start but Katarinab made sure we climbed in stages, finding shady spots and stopping for stories and insights along the way. We were on top before we knew it. Tours are great when the guides clearly enjoy leading and love their cities like this.

Athens cruise: Agistri, Moni/Metopi, Aegina with lunch & drinks

Olamide_A, Jul 2026

The best day!

Amazing! The crew were so kind and accommodating. They spoke to every single passenger and ensured everyone was having a good time. They were so knowledgeable and open with passengers. The food was also really good along with the breakfast offerings. The whole experience allowed adequate time to explore the islands while also including multiple opportunities to spend time on the beaches. One of the crew members walked us over to the Pistachio market. We had an amazing time and will definitely be back.

See the sea for yourself!

This is a great way to take a wonderful swim in the sea near Athens and see a little bit of island life. Time on the islands is limited but the time on the water is lovely. The crew was friendly and helpful and we had a terrific day enjoying the yacht and the sea.

The area is beautiful, the water wonderful and clear and of course sunset at the Temple of Poseidon is just beautiful Guide was very knowledgeable, bus very comfortable. Highly recommend

Athens: Meteora Monasteries, Caves & Coastal Stopovers with Lunch

Anastasios_K, Jul 2026

Must see! You won't regret it!

It's simply a must see/do in Greece. You won't regret it. My wife and teenage kids were complaining about how long the day was going to be for a visit from Athens (literally form 8:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m.). They were so happy they did it. Pictures of Meteora do no justice. You have to experience it to believe it. No disrespect to the Acropolis, but if you can only see 1 place, it should be Meteora.
