Tours outside Athens and Ephesus

[stubbornoldowl]

We will be sailing into Piraeus but we have been to Athens before and would prefer to tour outside of Athens. Can anyone suggest where to go and if you know of any private tours in the area?

 

We have also been to Ephesus and took a very comprehensive tour there - any suggestions for other things to see?

 

Thank you.

My suggestion would be to email Dennis at http://www.toursofathens.com and ask him what he would suggest for a visitor who has "been there done that". He is very knowledgeable and can suggest what you could do with your day. Have a great trip!

Crusemom gave some great choices. Also, I think some cruise lines have tours to Pergamon.
