Did the HOHO Red bus which would have been great. However it poured rain and thus put a damper on our day!. Did see the Acropolis ,the Parthenon,Syntagma Square. here there was to be the Changing of the guard. This was cancelled due to the rain. The bus had a very good radio sets with commentary. ...
Took a taxi to new Acropolis Museum- it is very well done. Then walked up to the Acropolis in the rain (Athens was our only rainy day). Wanted to do National Archaeology Museum, but our taxi driver discouraged us - he said the area around it wasn't very safe. ...
Hop on Hop off bus was great to get to all the best stops. Takes you to all the main things. We stayed at Piraeus for 4 days after the cruise and liked that area. Found a little local museum that was fun. ...
We did a wonderful private tour of Athens and Cape Sounion which included Acropolis, Plaka, changing of the guards, olympic stadium, arch, temple of poseidon, etc.. ...
