Cruise shore excursion
Private Athens Shore Excursion from Piraeus
Meet your guide at the gangway and return in time to sail.
In brief
A private excursion for cruise passengers arriving at Piraeus, with a licensed guide and driver meeting you at the terminal. The Acropolis, Acropolis Museum and Plaka in 6–7 hours, with a guaranteed return to the ship ahead of departure. From £390 per group of up to four.
Piraeus is about 12 km from central Athens, and a cruise day is short. We plan around your ship’s published arrival and sailing times, choose the quieter entry slot at the Acropolis and keep a safety buffer for the return.
If you prefer, we can swap the Acropolis for Cape Sounion or a food-focused day.
