This was so convenient! We traveled by cruise and it made it so easy to see Athens and get around the city in the limited time we had.

Getting stuck in Athens traffic. Not having bus drivers or any La Vacanza Travel assistants who spoke English, and therefore give adequate advice. Not having suitable and clear directions on their bus stop signage maps as well as their roadside signage.

Stopped at the Temple of Zeus and walked over to The Acropolis then walked around the area and the Hard Rock Cafe and the Flea Market. Took the bus back to the pier.
