★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 13,904 reviews · 2 hours - 1 day · from $42Our pick

Timed Acropolis entry plus access to up to five major Athens ruins, with audio help via Smartvisit, built for saving time and lines.

“It is cheaper to buy off the official website, but I booked late so the morning time slots were no longer available on the official website. Since I still wanted to go in the morning, I bought these tickets, which still had the morning time slots available. When I went on a Saturday at 09:00 in August, there was a fairly short line on the south side to get in. The tickets were provided immediately as a PDF file that just needed to be scanned at the entrance by a staff member.”

8.All Day Cruise -3 Islands to Agistri,Moni, Aegina with lunch and drinks included

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,958 reviews · 10 hours (approx.) · from $180Top rated

Three islands in one day from Athens. Sail the Saronic Gulf, swim and snorkel, enjoy Greek buffet lunch with wine and beer.

“The ship was spacious and comfortable, the crew friendly and attentive. The lunch was all cooked fresh and so delicious. The pacing of the day was good with some time on both Agistri and Aegina. Would have loved to go ashore at Moni as well but enjoyed swimming where we anchored there. If you really want to snorkel I'd recommend bringing your own equipment as they provided mainly just masks (and maybe 3-4 snorkels), no fins/flippers. That said, we had fun just swimming and jumping off the boat into the clear water. All around a spectacular day!”

“Even though the day started with thick fog and we couldn’t see anything at first, this tour was fantastic. Clement was an excellent guide — knowledgeable, friendly, and great at turning the foggy start into something fun and interesting. Once the mist lifted, everything he’d explained made the views even more impressive. Vasilis, our driver, was hilarious and welcoming, constantly reminding us to “no relax” because another quick photo stop was always coming. The views were epic, the monasteries incredible to visit inside, and the whole experience unforgettable thanks to this great team.”
