Enjoy the cities of Athens and Piraeus from the top of a yellow double-decker get-on get-off bus that affords you an excellent opportunity to take in the amazing architecture, history and culture of these cities while you listen audio commentaries available in +10 different languages. In Athens, you’ll find a city full of historical and cultural monuments and sights; however, it is a must to visit the Acropolis and Parthenon archaeological site where you will feel the energy of the whole region. Those who get-off on this route can visit the new Acropolis museum, the Archaeological museum and the picturesque area of Plaka and Monastiraki, full of neoclassical buildings, archaeological findings and souvenir shops. Piraeus port is one of the most important and ancient commercial leading ports in the Mediterranean. On this route you can view a number of private harbors, such as the Mikrolimano and the Zea Marina (Pasalimani). Those who take this route can also see the architectural beauty of the Municipal Theater and also taste the famous Souvlaki, one of the Greek cuisine specialties.
