The actual Port of Athens was not what we expected. It was a very crowded city but clean. We took a tour through Dream Vacations to the ruins and that was just amazing!!! We climbed to the top and say the Acropolis, Poseidon's Temple and the Parthenon. When we were done, we did some shopping in Plaka which is at the bottom of the ruins. Again, great shopping, great shops, affordable prices. The only issue we had were some ladies selling fabric and if you touched the fabric, they wanted to charge you. They hounded us and followed us until we finally got rude and said leave us alone.

When you think of ancient Greece, you think of Athens! We toured with with a small group of 12 from our ship with Hellenic Private Tours and did their Full Day Athens and Sounion Tour. We were among the first off the ship that day and so glad for it. We arrived at the Acropolis at 8:00am when they first open. So, our tour group was among the first to enter for the day. I recommend getting there early ahead of the crowds. We toured here for 1.5 hours and then moved on to the Temple of Zeus, a stop at the Olympic Stadium and then a stop to watch the changing of the guards. The tour then continued on to Sounion. We stopped at a seaside Greek restaurant for lunch and then visited the Temple of Poseidon before returning to the ship. The one thing that this tour company didn't offer was a certified guide to enter the ruins with our group. Our guide was very informative but wasn't allowed to enter the ruins with our group. I would recommend that you find a company that has a certified guide, particularly for the Acropolis.

Took a city tour to the Acropolis which was spectacular. Tour guide was very informative & good. Didn't have enough time to visit the Plaka so was disappointed about that.
