Suggested Sights of Athens itineraries

Athens in one day/ 24 hours
Athens in two days/ 48 hours
Sights of Athens HOHO

If you are spending just one day in Athens, consider a combination of the Orange and Yellow Lines. 

  • Your tour will begin at Syntagma Square, Old Parliament, where you can catch the bus towards the Acropolis Parthenon. 
  • Explore the Parthenon and learn about its mythological significance and history. This monument has withstood the test of time, from its construction to becoming a church and a mosque after it was repeatedly seized by the reigning victors.
  • You can then switch to the Blue Line and enjoy the landmarks along the way, including the planetarium and the Piraeus cruise, which gives you an up-close and personal view of the Temple of Poseidon. The duration of the Blue Line route is about an hour and 15 minutes. 
  • After a brief lunch break, hop back on one of the Sights of Athens Yellow Line buses to continue your city tour which includes the Karaiskaki Square, the National Archaeological Museum, the Temple of Zeus, and the Benaki Museum. 
  • You will be dropped off at the starting point —Syntagma Square, Old Parliament — after approximately two hours.
Sights of Athens HOHO

If you have two days to explore Athens, make sure to take all four routes of the Sights of Athens hop-on hop-off tour to make the most out of your trip. Here is a possible itinerary that incorporates all four routes:

Day 1 - Orange and Blue Lines: Your tour will begin at Syntagma Square, Old Parliament, as you catch the bus towards the Acropolis Parthenon. After your stroll through the Acropolis, shift to the Blue Line for the Piraeus Cruise, which includes a visit to the planetarium, a close view of the Temple of Poseidon, and a few extra stops. You can get back to the Orange Line at the Acropolis to continue your tour of the city and its attractions. The Old Town of Plaka, which lies close to the Acropolis, is home to several local-run taverns that offer Greek delicacies such as Keftedes (Greek-style meatballs) and Tzatziki (a cucumber-garlic dip). 

Sights of Athens HOHO

Day 2 - Yellow and Green Lines: Your second day in Athens is meant to be a beachside getaway! You can take the bus from the Acropolis Parthenon to Glyfada. Experience the serene beauty of the Glyfada and Kosmas beach sides, before you get down. You can either continue on the Yellow Line or take a break here and shift to the Green Line, which is a brief, 20-minute detour that takes you toward some of the less-known beaches in Athens, including Astir Beach and Vouliagmeni Lake. Following the detour, you can get back on the Yellow Line and finish your trip through the city of Athens, before you are dropped off at the starting point.

Sights of Athens hop-on hop-off tour tips 

  • Make sure to plan your day and familiarise yourself with the bus routes. It’s a good idea to make a special note of all the points where you can change over to different routes. 
  • Since the tour is a day trip and you are expected to be on your feet, wear comfortable clothes and footwear, especially if you plan on strolling through the city. 
  • The tickets are usually valid for calendar days, so make sure to activate your passes in advance. You cannot use your one-day passes for two days! 
  • If you are stopping by for food, do your research! Don’t be lured by waiters forcing you to sit down in touristy areas. Instead, look for some recommended locations. Athenians eat late, between 9-11pm, so prepare for a dinner close to midnight. 
  • Be mindful of your clothes when visiting churches or monasteries. Wear respectful clothing and avoid high heels as most of these locations have rather slippery marbles or cobblestones.

Very much. A very complete service and practical tour, which makes it special to know comfortably the area of most tourist interest. It would be more interesting if it was extended to a night tour.

Hop on hop off interesting over 1 day, but not 2, as there was too much waiting at certain stops ... we preferred to return from glyfada by tram/metro (€1.90/pers). Cape Sounion is a great way to round off a day, but don't forget the 20€/pers for access to Poseidon's temple and ... the sunset is pretty, even if it's everywhere in the world!
