The most famous site in all of Athens, this large hill lies in the center of the city and contains a cluster of ancient ruins.

Greek/World history comes alive. The hop on hop off bus is an excellent tour of the city of Athens and one of it's stops is the Acropolis. A must see for sure. Bring good walking shoes and your camera and scratch this one off your bucket list, if you like history you're gonna love the Acropolis!

It was absorbing moving around the splendid array of artefacts from antiquity. Funerary stelae and sculptures abound and reflect the reverence accorded to this seminal life event. Many stone reliefs are to be seen. A Greek pursuing a wounded Amazon who's bearing a shield is cogent, as are those of a Priest and Priestess in ritual attitude and the narrative of a Dispute between Apollo and Herakles. Herakles with a quadriga of chariot pulled by four horses is wonderful. That portraying three nymphs in motion is another highlight. The Piraeus Apollo in bronze is a prized sculpture and is the earliest known life-size depiction dating from around 525 BCE. It is accompanied with slightly later fine bronzes of Athena and Artemis.

a stunningly beautiful museum with the unique properties of being able to see the ancient excavations underneath through the glass floor while also being able to have an exquisite view of the acropolis through the glass walls. Turning your attention inwards will allow you to see stunning pieces of art/history.

Saint Nicholas is the most beautiful church of the Piraeus port. It stands out with its blue dome near the cruise ships terminal and it's certainly worth visiting.

Ok, so a bit crowded for Aug., 2020. A line about 30 people deep, but it moved quickly & before you wmknow it, we were in. Absolutely beautiful beach, sunbeds for 5euros, bathrooms and changing rooms. Also a Bar and limited menu, but great. Also, we took a car from Athens this morning for 30 euro, but you could also take the bus, but I think it would take about an hr.

Great beach, lovely warm beautiful sea for swimming. We arrived about 10.30 on a week day and got two sunbeds in the front row for 30 euros, so good value. I think pre booking and weekends are more expensive. Nice lunch and lovely staff. Food and drinks can be delivered to your sunbed if you require by pressing a call button. A great way to spend the day, facilities are great, good showers, hairdryers etc. We watched the sun go down an amazing view from our sunbeds!

I've used Blue Star Ferries in many ferry travel occasions in the past and will definitely be using them again. Their ships are fast, spacious and clean. Traveling by ferry to the Greek islands is in general a great experience, also due to the fact that Greek passenger shipping is at a very high level!

We usually take Bluestar to and from Naxos but this time we couldnt get the cabin we wanted on the Delos on the return trip. We opted for the VIP seating as one trip we took seajets and their ships are well worn... The VIP seating on high speed 4 is up stairs and it is nice and has a large balcony to the stern which is nice. Very comfortable seats which are ata table. If we were to take the ship again we would get seats in the business class section which is smaller, cheaper and it is at the front of the ship so you can see where you are going. Overall a great ferry ride but the price of the VIP seats is a little high for not getting any more than business and also the VIP seats cost more than getting a cabin for 2 on Bluestar.
