We just came back from a cruise that went from Venice to Rome and stopped in Athens for a day. Based on reports from this webpage and others, we (a group of 4) hired a taxi driver/tour guide to drive us around. We had a GREAT experience with him and would highly recommend his services. We definitely saw much more than the people on the ship's tour and he was very flexible with adjusting the day's itinerary based on what we wanted to see and how long we wanted to stay at different places. His name is Jordan Daioglou and his webpage is www.athens-tours.gr He was very reasonably priced compared to the ship's tour offerings.

Hi Andy
I have never used him but, there have been great reviews on George the Famous Taxi Drive. I know you don't want a taxi so I'll suggest his son, who is not in the business and has a limo he drives. I believe either one would work for you. Here is a link from Matt Barrett's site...

hope this is what you're looking for.

Are you a troll? as I have had over 1500 posts in 4 years...What is your problem that you feel you need to answer snidely with no aparent info given.....

Wug- thanks for your suggestions and help-- appreciate it!

Hi andy,
Just in case you change your mind about the taxi, we found the metro system to be awesome for getting from the Airport to the city/port. It's inexpensive and reliable. There are signs inside the airport that lead you to the station (it is just a short walk away). Anyway, just tuck it away in the back of your mind for a good back-up plan should the taxi not work.

We also found the metro to be super easy, and often quicker than driving (trafic is in international problem!). We took the bus from Athens to Pireus when we got there, going to Poros also. No problem...
By the way, we got lost trying to find the Poros boat. It's one of the last piers on the left, where the smaller boats are!
