What time does the tour depart?

Departure times vary by season so the tour always arrives at sunset. The operator will email you the precise time 24 hours before your tour — for example, 6:15 PM in June and early July, or 3:00 PM in winter. Check the seasonal schedule in the 'Know Before You Go' section for your approximate window.

Is hotel pick-up included?

No. You need to make your own way to the KeyTours Greece office on Athanasiou Diakou in Athens. The tour returns to the same point at the end of the evening.

Do I need to print my ticket?

A mobile ticket on your phone is accepted — there is no need to print anything. Just have your booking confirmation ready at the meeting point.

Is the tour suitable for children?

Children under 4 years old are free of charge, though no seat will be reserved for them. Older children are welcome on the tour.

What happens if the weather is bad?

The itinerary is subject to change due to weather and traffic conditions. If the tour is cancelled by the operator, you will be notified and offered an alternative or refund in line with the cancellation policy.

How long is the tour in total?

The exact duration is not specified, but the tour covers a return drive along the Athens Riviera plus time at the temple — typically an evening's outing. The operator can confirm timing when they send your meeting-time email.
