We did the Akropolis + Plaka RCCL tour, well worth the money and leaves you with plenty of free time to walk around on your own. The traffic is quite bad in Athens so wouldn't recommend tyring to make your way from Piraeus dock to central Athens on your own unless you are an experienced city traveller...

We were transported back in time. The ruins left us jaw dropped. We did an excursion there and our tour guide was sweet. She explained everything we were seeing on our way there and while we were exploring. We had lunch in Athens and we were the only group in the restaurant. It was only serving us. The food, the wine and the staff were wonderful. Being in Cape Sounion was amazing just thinking of Poseidon and Athena being there was just amazing and the breath taking views. Memories for a lifetime.

If you're self-touring, the port is a little confusing in terms of finding a taxi for a ride into the city (most will only accept you if you want a taxi-tour), and it's WAY too far to walk to the metro station. Otherwise, expect crowds and traffic around the main tourist areas like the Acropolis and Plaka. Allow plenty of time to return to the port - not only for traffic, but also because you may have a long line to get through security at the cruise terminal, depending on how many other ships are in port.

Once in Piraeus there were 3 hop on hop off bus companies operating from the same place just on the other side of the coach park. They have different prices - we took the cheapest and were very happy. They took us all the way to the acropolis and we changed there for the athens bus. We hardly waited more than 5 minutes for the bus and saw everything. They only tell you about one of the buses on the ship - there is also a metro (but you have to walk a bit) and a municipal bus which went straight into athens too. Once we got to athens there was a massive queue for the acropolis so we walked to the agora and came back in the afternoon - the queue was completely gone. But check online first as sometimes they close early.
