I never do this kind of touristy thing because I usually like to explore a city on my own. I have been to Athens 5 times and this last time I decided this...

The hop on hop off was a great way to see Athens and Pireaus. we were able to sightsee at our own pace at a very reasonable price--the earphone commentary in most languages was a big plus, also.
