Creator's Key Takeaways

We were quite happy doing the bus tour around the city.

It's really tasty and well worth the extra £545.

We went back out on deck to watch another spectacular sunset at sea.

After a really enjoyable day, we got a seat back down in the atrium where we had another couple of drinks.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Buy tickets for the hop-on hop-off bus in Piraeus for a day's travel on all three routes.
✓Visit the Acropolis earlier or later in the season to avoid heat and crowds.
✓Hydrate well after a scorching day in the city.

Crowds and heat at popular sites like the Acropolis — Come back earlier or later in the season when it's less hot and busy.
