Discover the city's 3,000-year history from the vantage point of the top deck of a double-decker bus.

The Athens line takes you to the ancient heart of the city, including the neighbourhoods of Plaka and Monastiraki. Hop off at attractions such as the Temple of Zeus, the Panathenaic Stadium, and the National Archaeological Museum. The Piraeus line takes you to the ancient port city of Piraeus, Greece's largest port and home to a number of archaeological sites. The Riviera line transports you to Glyfada Bay, offering stunning vistas of the Athens Riviera, renowned for its picturesque coastline with sandy beaches, rocky coves, and crystal-clear waters.
