Accessibility Description

The Half Day Athens Accessible Driving Tour has a 5 Star Sage Accessibility Rating because it uses a wheelchair accessible van and wheelchair-friendly tour routes. The routes can be adjusted to meet the individual accessibility needs of the disabled visitor. Additionally, the tour guide can push a manual wheelchair user if necessary.

If you are arriving at the Piraeus cruise dock, you will take the wheelchair accessible Piraeus port shuttle (shown in the photo on the left) to the cruise terminal. Your tour guide will meet you at the cruise terminal exit (shown in the photo on the right).

A van with a wheelchair lift (shown in the photo on the left) will comfortable transport you into the city. The tour will follow a wheelchair accessible route by using curb cuts to avoid curbs and steps.

The Greek Parliament building and the Panathenaic Stadium (site of the first modern Olympics) are two of the sights that will be visited on this accessible Athens driving tour.

The Parthenon is perched on the Acropolis towering high overhead. Advanced notification will be made so that you can use the Acropolis wheelchair platform lift and elevator to reach the top.
