This way you’ll get on for sure and any elders can get one of the few seats on the X80. If there’s a lot of people awaiting for the X80’s return trip at the acropolis stop, walk up to Syntagma Square or cross the street and catch the bus where they dropped off the Acropolis visitors (Hadrian’s Arch) and do the loop back to where everyone is waiting. Here’s a big tip for you as all cruise passengers seem to head back to the ship approximately 1-2 hours before all aboard. Using Google Maps or a similar program makes it quite easy to get around when you’re in the area. If I take a taxi at Walled City and I want him to drive me to the cruise terminal, is it called 'Muelle Turistico de Cartagena ' so I can show him this. The second time we got off at the acropolis stop by Hadrian’s arch before going to the Panathenaic stadium. Cruise terminal in spanish 'Muelle Turistico de Cartagena' 2 years ago I can't speak spanish. Once to syntagma square to watch the changing of the guards before seeing other things in the area. The ticket booth is near the port “car” exit.
We paid the driver after dropping us off at the port. We paid the guide after the tour (she refused a tip) and got us into the museum (price included) and showed us where the driver would be waiting. We used a company called “Athen walks” and they charged the four of us 180€ for the guide (4hrs) and 50€ for the Mercedes (George) pickup and drop off. I took a private tour the first time to see the Parthenon, agora, museum and the acropolis area. I’ve been to Athens 3 times by cruise ship and most recently on the NCL Spirit.
