3.City Sightseeing Athens, Piraeus & Beach Riviera Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Tours

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,887 reviews · 1 hour 50 minutes (approx.) · from $26

See Athens, Piraeus, and the Riviera at your own pace with flexible hop-on hop-off passes, audio commentary, and three scenic bus routes.

“The bus drivers were helpful on the two lines we rode on. However, the Athens Marathon was this weekend and buses weren’t running on full schedules due to many closed roads. I am sure that the Hop On / Hop Off bus company was aware of this long before the weekend of Nov. 8-9th. I think the company should be forthcoming with information that impacts their services. We basically paid $72 for 48 hour service and used it once on Saturday for about 90 minutes. Using the earplugs was useless because the recording didn’t correspond with the locations.”
