Review of Big Bus Athens, with Acropolis, Piraeus, and Riviera routes, practical stop advice, value tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Doesn’t have Mandarin as a language even though the descriptions say it does. Some buses are so old the guides don’t work. This line only takes you around Athens, you have to pay 5 Euro extra a person to get all 3 lines. Some buses have no roofs and can be hot in the summer. Opt for the red city bus and pay the premium instead of this one.”

“I thought the bus was to leave at 8:30 am...nope 8:55 pm. I knew I should have used the blue buses. They left promptly and had the next bus ready to pull in. The same thing happened at Acropolis waiting for the bus and waiting in line saw two other blue buses load and go.”
