Awaiting Your Return From Shore

The landmark hill of the Acropolis looms over Greece's busy metropolis. Athens' age-old symbol, the Acropolis was built by the Athenians during the 5th century B.C. in honor of the goddess Athena, patron of the city. The temple complex was regarded as a citadel of the gods, with the Parthenon standing out as the architecturally most sophisticated temple of that period. To this day, it causes a sense of wonder to even the most jaded visitor.

Pier Information
The ship is scheduled to dock at the New Passenger Terminal, one mile from the Left of Piraeus and eight miles from Athens. Metered taxis are generally available just outside the terminal building.

Shopping
Upscale shopping is found in the Kolonaki and Monastiraki districts of Athens. LaLaounis and Zolotas are some of the best-known designer names in gold and silver jewelry.

Plaka
Stretching east from the Agora, this lovely quarter, with winding alleys, neo-classical buildings, white-washed, bougainvillea-framed houses and tiny churches, is worth your exploration.
Golf
Konstantinos Karamanlis Golf Club
If the Gods of Olympus played golf then Glyfada's Golf Course would have been their first choice. This delightful 18-hole course, Par 72, only twenty five minutes from Athens, winds its way through umbrella pines with pent-grass greens leaning towards the sea and its cooling breezes.
