Sounio

The Attica region is surrounded on 3 sides by the sea so no wonder that dozens of beaches are available. The best ones are found along the so called 'Athens Riviera' along your route and are more organised but there are also many further towards The Temple of Poseidon if you prefer something quieter. Whatever your beach preference, just let your driver know & he will include the best option for a swim!

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
