Athens from the top: Hop-on Hop-off bus

Updated: Jun 30, 2025


In Athens, I like to slowly wander the streets of Plaka, listen to the sound of fountains in the squares and gaze at the columns whose shadows stretch through the millennia. But there is another way to get to know the city - from above.


The Hop-on Hop-off bus is like a smooth journey in the palm of Athens.

The route goes through the whole city, and also to the coast and even to Piraeus. And all this - in a light wind, sun and with an audio guide in Russian (and 15 more languages to choose from).

šŸŽ§ Along the way, they talk about Zeus and philosophers, about temples and alleys where, it seems, it still smells of orange peels and old marble.

šŸ“ You can get off at any monument, take a walk, drink coffee - and then continue the route again.

🌊 And if you want the sea, one of the routes goes along the coast. The air there is different: salty and there is more freedom.

I recommend starting your day at the Acropolis and then rolling through the streets, listening to Athens whisper ancient names.

Tickets are valid for 2 or 3 days, Wi-Fi on the bus, route map and headphones included.

Let Athens be kind, bright - and with a view from above šŸ’›
