Andreas picked us and dropped us off very close to the boat. He dropped us off at the Acropolis so we could explore it on our own. We were able to walk around several other sites including the Temple of Zeus, took pictures in front of the Olympic Stadium and walked up Lycabettus hill to overlook Athens. (Prior to leaving home, we purchased combo tickets to get us into the Archaeological Sites - saved us a lot of time waiting in line) It was amazing! We only had 6 hours in Athens, but he definitely made us want to go back!!
