Creator's Key Takeaways

Athens is one of the easier ports to navigate on your own due to the proximity of the major sites in the downtown area and a hop-on hop-off bus that will pick you up and drop you off directly

We loved our time on top of the Acropolis it is a piece of ancient history you will not want to miss

Athens is a magical city full of history and one that is not to be missed

The food is amazing everywhere you turn so don't miss out on your chance to dine in an authentic Greek restaurant

Athens, Greece Cruise Port Review | Best Things To Do From Piraeus Today we cover the Athens shore excursions available from the Athens cruise port, or, the Piraeus cruise port! The Athens cruise port is located in Piraeus, Greece, 7 miles from Athens. From Piraeus, shore excursions are pretty easy. Whether you are going on a Greek Islands cruise or a Mediterranean cruise, you are probably starting or stopping in Athens. Almost all Greece cruise itineraries port in Athens at some point. We hope you enjoy cruising from Athens, or cruising to Greece. On our Athens cruise stop we did a DIY Acropolis shore excursion and thought it was one of the best things to do in Athens. If you have time don't miss the Panathenaic stadium or Ancient Corinth. A Corinth shore excursion will take most of your day, but is one of the better Greece shore excursions.
