The Port of Piraeus is the chief seaport of Athens, Greece, located on the Saronic Gulf on the western coasts of the Aegean Sea. Piraeus port is the largest port in Greece, home to Europe's biggest passenger port, and as such is a huge draw for cruise ships from around the world bringing tourists eager to explore this centuries-old city, and one of the largest in Europe.

We enjoyed our trip with Michael of Athens Tours Greece very much! He was able to answer all our questions with his vast knowledge of Greek history. He was very accommodating, polite, gracious and made sure that we were comfortable. His restaurant recommendation in Nafplio was superb! We will be happy to book with them again in the future. Highly recommended!

Great tour with Alex to Corinth and Nafplio. Alex was very knowledgeable about the history of the sites and kept the narrative going throughout our drive of the countryside. Had plenty of time to explore the ancient city of Corinth and a leisurely lunch and time to stroll in Nafplio. Truly a great day!
A day well spent in the Peloponnese

We did not want to visit any archaelogical sites so we had a longer stop in New Corinth and we had more time hiking to the top the Acrocorinth. We also extended the tour to 10 hours to have more time in Nafplio. It was a lovely day trip with Theodore who was very friendly and knowlegable.
Great way to see a number of historical sites

We had been on a cruise and our flight wasn’t until 10.15 pm so had a full day to find something to do with two weeks of luggage. I can highly recommend as they picked us up from the port took us out visiting various interesting historical sites at our leisure. The driver was informative and very sociable. Went out of his way to ensure we had a good day. It is a long day but can highly recommend. We were then dropped off at the airport to check in.

We were picked up at our hotel in Athens by Peter, our tour guide. As he drove through Athens and on our way to Corinth, he pointed out many sites along the way. He was very knowledgeable explaining the Greek history. He took much pride in his heritage and all of the historic surroundings. We stopped at the Corinth canal first, and then headed to Ancient Corinth. He gave us enough time at each stop to explore the ancient buildings and archeological ruins there. We then headed to Mycenae and had about an hour or so to explore and climb to the ruins there. The views were amazing. We then drove to Nafplio. It is a beautiful town on the water. We had lunch at Buonas, right across from the harbor, very scenic. The lunch was delicious. Peter was very friendly, and we really enjoyed chatting with him. We had a very nice ride back to our hotel in Athens and he kept the conversation interesting. The time went by very quickly. A wonderful way to spend our last day in Greece!!

A special note of Thanks to Antonio Ruka / Athens Touring based in Athens. We did several tours with Antonio where he provided special / superb tour guide agenda's & venue's. This included Athens - where he knows the complete "lay of the land" with contacts & places to visit in the most convenient manner possible. We also experienced a fantastic Peloponnese tour that covered all the noteworthy sights. On top of that Antonio provided extra attention to detail by providing trips to sightseeing area's and destinations. He is a very outgoing, friendly host and provided the extra attention & care that made our journey's with him so special...One of our best travel experience's ever. Check Athens Touring out.

Our guide George was a fountain of information and learning, and my spouse and I loved conversing with him on our way thru ancient Corinth and Mycenae, and the coastal town of Nafpoli. The lunch spot he chose was also fantastic and had reasonable prices for seafood lovers. Highly recommend! Our one regret was not getting a picture with George before the day was done!
