Ancient history is the headliner here, and Athens tours focus on archaeological treasures from the Acropolis in the city’s heart to outlying sites like the Temple of Poseidon in Cape Sounion, the Meteora monasteries, and the ruins of Delphi and Corinth. Visitors looking to experience modern Athens can nibble their way through the city on a food tour, walk or cycle in trendy districts like Plaka and Monastiraki with an insider guide, and experience the local nightlife on a bar crawl. The capital city is also the perfect jumping-off spot for day cruises and island hopping in the Saronic Gulf.

A:

Yes. Athens tours provide an insider’s view of the city’s rich history and landmarks.

Q:How much do Athens tours cost?
A:

That depends. Most city tours, including walking, biking, and museum-guided tours, are between US$50 and US$100. But, you can find hop-on, hop-off bus tours for as low as US$25 a person and boat tours that travel between the Greek islands and last for multiple days, reaching upwards of US$5000 for your group.

Q:Can you tour Athens in a day?
A:

Yes, it’s possible to see Athens’ highlights in a single day with a well-planned guided tour. Choose a full-day tour and explore everything from the Acropolis, the Odeon of Herodes Atticus, the Temple of Athena Nike, and the Parthenon (to name just a few). On this tour, a knowledgeable local guide will share insider knowledge and provide skip-the-line tickets so that you make the most of your 8-hour tour.

A:

According to travelers, the #1 attraction in Athens is the Acropolis. Dramatically perched on a jagged clifftop, the UNESCO-listed Acropolis overlooks the modern city and dates back to 510 BC.

Q:How many days in Athens is enough?
A:

Although Athens can be seen in a day, it’s best to spend 2–3 days exploring the top landmarks like the Acropolis, Parthenon, and the Acropolis Museum. Between sightseeing, explore Plaka and Psiri's culinary scenes and vibrant nightlife. If you want to take day trips from Athens or island hop, you can easily spend 4–5 days there.
