Overview

Many cruise ships only stop in Athens for a day, making it difficult for travelers to curate their own tours and leaving expensive official tours marketed by the cruise operator as the only apparent option. See the highlights of Athens in a single day on this shore excursion. A well-planned itinerary makes it possible to explore the Acropolis, Acropolis Museum, Ancient Agora (entrance fees extra) and the famous Mt Lycabettus in one day.
