About how much time should we allow for a non-rushed self guided tour of the Acropolis from the South entrance and back. Hopefully it will be less crowded by mid afternoon.
I believe you can select that time for the Acropolis when you buy the combo ticket. Then visit the other sights when you wish. Watch the You Tube video that someone posted above.
We also have 3 days pre cruise in May. We will probably stay in Athens since there is so much to see in the city. Thinking about a food tour but otherwise mostly explore on our own. We will have lots of tours on our cruise.
Hollyann: I was looking at George’s Taxi tours, but it looks like they charge for the group, not per person. We are a group of 2, so I wouldn’t want to get stuck paying for a group. How did you book the tour?
We stayed in Bayswater which is on the north side of Hyde Park. A little out of the way, but possibly a little less pricey. Many small hotels, restaurants, and convenient tube station at Lancaster Gate. Great for a morning run or walk in Hyde Park.
Our Canterbury included tour only allowed for a few minutes of free time in the town. It’s about a 15 minute bus ride from Dover, so you need to stay with the guide. It was one of the better included tours.
Our May, Athens to Venice Adriatic cruise includes ports at Olympia, Corfu, Kotor, Dubrovnik, and Split. What excursions in these ports (included or optional) did you particularly like (or dislike)? Thanks !!!
