rjac Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 Our cruise ship (Explorer OTS) gets into the Athens port on July 18th at 7:00 am. What time can we get off the ship for an excursion on our own? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyalGreek Posted April 3 Report Share Posted April 3 I have been their three times. Explorer and Jewel. If you arrive at 7:00 am then it will be about 7:30 when you can get off. There are plenty of Taxi Tours in the port an they are fine. If you just want to get a ride into Athens then you will have to walk to the port gate for a taxi or you can call an Uber to pick you up in the port. You can also do a Hop-On Bus tour as well that will take you from the port into the city and back. NOTE: Traffic in Athens is terrible. Plan on leave the city center a full 2 hours prior to all aboard time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMOKEY0202 Posted April 4 Report Share Posted April 4 Traffic crazy in Athens. Taxis aren't cheap so best option is to utilize hop on hop off red bus. Better option for price with plenty of stops along way and drops off right back inside gates at pier at the ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOB Posted April 7 Report Share Posted April 7 We were scheduled to arrive in Athens last summer at 5. 10 days before we got there (mid way through our previous leg of a B2B) they changed it to 7:30. As that was our final stop this caused chaos with flights. so I wouldn’t book anything earlier than 9am and check if you can rearrange timings if needs be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
