What's great about Piraeus (for Athens) cruises?
Trip over reminders of the past in ancient Athens, where cultural treasures twinkle back at you at every turn. It’s a real gold medal winner of a city.
- Scale the heights of the sun-bleached Acropolis for awesome views, then take a look at the Parthenon, perched atop Athens’ most famous hill.
- Explore Plaka, the Medieval quarter at the foot of the Acropolis. The 19th-century lanes are crammed with tavernas, and twist and turn to meet the equally atmospheric Monastiraki street markets.
- From old to new – take a wander round the up-market Kolonaki district, which is packed with chic boutiques and ritzy restaurants.
- Be in Syntagma – or Constitution - Square in time to see the skirted soldiers perform the changing-of-the-guard.
- Check out the Corinth Canal, which connects the Gulf of Corinth with the Saronic Gulf. This waterway was considered one of the greatest technological achievements of its time.
