Roam around the picturesque area of Monastiraki and its Flea Market, and walk through the quaint neighbourhood of Thission.

Blue Line - Piraeus

If you are fresh from the cruise, you can start your journey at either of the cruise Terminals in the Port of Piraeus, just a stone's throw
away from the cruise ship. You may admire attractions such as Pasalimani, the yachts’ marina, and Mikrolimano, the ancient harbour of Piraeus.

Don't miss out on the impressive new Museum of Acropolis, and walk up to the Acropolis hill to admire the Parthenon, as our busses take passengers directly to the most eminent monument of Athens and Greece.

Yellow Line − Glyfada

Start your tour to the Athenian Riviera from the Planetarium stop of the Blue Line. Find out how the bewildering desert of the 1900s has evolved into one of the most cosmopolitan areas of Greece! From the Niarchou Foundation to the Marina Alimou, the Glyfada Line is a blending of history and modernism; a combination of culture of old days and entertainment of our times. Enjoy the sunset from Marina Flisvou, or swim and sunbathe in Agios Kosmas. In the Glyfada Terminal, you may wander around the most cosmopolitan suburbs of the capital, enjoy the luxurious department stores and wind down in the beautiful cafes. Don't miss out on the beach bar and taste a cocktail by the seaside!

Green Line − Vouliagmeni

Vouliagmeni may have been associated with the beaches, but the area is a history lesson on its own. From the Allied Forces Cemetery to the Byzantine Museum, Vouliagmeni Line is certainly worth a visit. Relax at the beautiful beach of Kavouri Oceanis, one of the most popular beaches in Athens. Vouliagmeni Lake, one of the most popular spots in Athens, is a wonder of natural beauty. Don’t miss out on a jump into the thermal baths and admire the breathtaking surroundings.
