Tagesausflüge · Saronic Gulf
Aegina
The closest Saronic island to Piraeus at 87.41 km², about 40 minutes by hydrofoil or an hour by conventional ferry. The Temple of Aphaia, built around 490 BC, is one of the oldest surviving Greek temples. Pistachios, introduced in 1896, cover a large share of the island's farmland and hold PDO status since 1996; Aegina town is the port and capital, with Perdika and Vathy as smaller settlements.
Tagesausflüge · Saronic Gulf
Agistri
The smallest of the accessible Saronic islands at 13.37 km² with 1,131 residents at the 2021 census. Skala is the main port with most of the accommodation, Megalochori (Milos) is where most islanders live and Limenaria sits on the far side. Boats from Piraeus take about an hour; from Aegina it is roughly ten minutes by the Agistri Express or a water taxi.
Tagesausflüge · Corinthia
Ancient Corinth and Acrocorinth
The Roman-era forum of Corinth is dominated by the mid-6th-century BC Doric Temple of Apollo, of whose 38 columns seven still stand, with an archaeological museum on site; the modern town lies about 5 km north-east. Above it, Acrocorinth is a monolithic rock crowned by three circuit walls, its summit once holding a temple of Aphrodite later used as a church and then a mosque. The suburban railway (Proastiakos) reaches Corinth from Athens, with a local connection or taxi for the last few kilometres.
Tagesausflüge · Sounio, East Attica
Cape Sounion and the Temple of Poseidon
A Doric temple of 444–440 BC on a headland about 60 m above the sea, 69.5 km south-east of Athens and 8 km south of Lavrio; 15 of the original 34 columns still stand. Byron's name is carved into a column base, though there is no direct evidence he cut it himself. Entry has been €10 since the April 2025 national price reform; KTEL Attikis buses leave from Mavromateon Street at Pedion tou Areos and take around two hours.
Tagesausflüge · Phocis (long day trip)
Delphi
The sanctuary of Apollo on the slopes of Parnassos, with the temple, theatre, stadium, treasuries, the polygonal wall of manumission inscriptions, and the separate Athena Pronaia sanctuary with its tholos about 800 m along the road. The archaeological museum holds the bronze Charioteer. Entry is €20 and Delphi is one of the few sites that still has a combined site-and-museum ticket; KTEL Fokidas buses run about four times a day from the Liosion terminal, roughly three hours each way.
Tagesausflüge · West Attica
Eleusis (Elefsina)
The sanctuary of Demeter west of Athens, whose Telesterion was the largest hall of its kind in Greece and the setting for the Eleusinian Mysteries, initiation rites built on the promise of a better fate after death. The site also holds temples of Triptolemos, Artemis and Poseidon and a Roman bridge over the Kephissos. Modern Elefsina is an industrial town with Greece's largest oil refinery; it held the European Capital of Culture title in 2023, deferred from 2021 because of the pandemic.
Tagesausflüge · Argolis
Epidaurus and its ancient theatre
The theatre of the Sanctuary of Asklepios seats 13,000–14,000 across 34 original rows extended by 21 Roman rows. Its limestone seating filters out low-frequency crowd noise while carrying higher frequencies from the orchestra, which explains much of its acoustic reputation, though claims of perfect intelligibility are overstated. It is still in use: the Athens Epidaurus Festival programmed the ancient theatre from 20 June to 29 August 2026, and admission to the site rose from €12 to €20 in April 2025.
Tagesausflüge · Saronic Gulf
Hydra
A Saronic island 37 nautical miles (69 km) from Piraeus, population 2,070 at the 2021 census. Wheeled transport is banned by law, including bicycles and e-bikes, with rubbish trucks the only motor vehicles; horses, mules, donkeys and water taxis do the work instead. High-speed catamarans and hydrofoils from Piraeus take roughly 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 55 minutes depending on service.
Tagesausflüge · South-east Attica
Lavrio
A mining town on the south-east Attic coast, 8 km north of Sounion, whose silver mines funded the classical Athenian state; extraction evidence goes back to around 3200 BC with systematic working from the 6th century BC. Nineteenth-century industrial buildings survive alongside the Mineralogical Museum. The port is the third Athens ferry gateway after Piraeus and Rafina, serving Kea and Kythnos and onward Cycladic routes, with sailings dropping sharply outside June to September.
Tagesausflüge · North-east Attica
Marathon and the Tumulus of the Athenians
The Soros, a mound 9 m high and 50 m across excavated by Valerios Stais in 1890, holds the ashes of the 192 Athenians killed at the battle of 490 BC. The Archaeological Museum of Marathon, opened in 1975, displays finds from the battlefield and from the nearby Egyptian sanctuary. The site is quiet and takes little time; it pairs naturally with Ramnous further north.
Tagesausflüge · Thessaly (overnight recommended)
Meteora
Sandstone pillars in Thessaly between Kalambaka and Kastraki carrying six monasteries still open to visitors, each closed on a different weekday and each charging €5 in cash at the door. Dress code is enforced: skirts below the knee and covered shoulders for women, long trousers for men, no sleeveless tops. This is a long trip and rail access is broken — the Palaiofarsalos–Kalambaka line has been suspended since the 2023 Storm Daniel floods with reopening scheduled for 2028, so trains from Athens terminate at Palaiofarsalos and a bus covers the last 90 km.
Tagesausflüge · Argolis
Mycenae
The Bronze Age citadel 120 km south-west of Athens and 11 km north of Argos, built on a hill 274 m above sea level behind Cyclopean walls whose largest blocks weigh over 20 tonnes. The Lion Gate, Grave Circles A and B, the palace megaron and the Treasury of Atreus tholos tomb are the main features, with a site museum. Admission rose from €12 to €20 on 1 April 2025.
Tagesausflüge · Argolis
Nafplio
The first capital of Greece, from 1829 until Otto moved the seat to Athens in 1834, with an old town below three fortifications: Palamidi, the last major Venetian overseas construction, taken by Greek forces in November 1822; Acronauplia, whose walls run back to pre-classical times; and the Bourtzi islet in the harbour. Buses from Athens take about two to two hours twenty, via Corinth and Argos. It works better as an overnight base for the Argolid than as a same-day return.
Tagesausflüge · Saronic Gulf
Poros
A small Saronic island separated from the Peloponnese by a channel only 200 m wide, with a car ferry shuttling across to Galatas. The town's landmark is the 1927 clock tower, and lemon groves cover the mainland slope opposite. Blue Star services from Piraeus take around 55 minutes to an hour, conventional boats roughly two and a half hours.
Tagesausflüge · North-east Attica
Ramnous
A fortified Attic deme on a rocky peninsula surrounded by sea on two-thirds of its circumference, north-east of Marathon. About 600 m south of the town stands the sanctuary of Nemesis on a white marble platform, with a small poros temple of the late 6th century BC beside a large hexastyle temple of 460–420 BC that once held a colossal marble Nemesis by Agorakritos. The acropolis occupies a 28 m hill roughly 230 by 270 m, with a well-preserved main gate; it gets very few visitors and there is no public transport to the gate.
Tagesausflüge · East Attica
Vravrona (Brauron)
The sanctuary of Artemis on Attica's east coast, about 24.5 km south-east of Athens near Markopoulo, set in an inlet that has silted up since antiquity. The 6th-century BC temple was rebuilt in the 420s BC, and a Π-shaped stoa holds nine dining rooms with couch cuttings still visible; a classical stone bridge on the site is the only known Greek example of its period. Young Athenian girls served here as arktoi, 'she-bears', in the quadrennial Arkteia rites, and the museum 330 m away displays their votives.
