    • Epos Travel & ToursOperatorWritten March 2025

      The first guaranteed departure for this tour is 2 May 2025. The cost for a single room in Athens in May ranges from 90 to 300 Euro (or more) depending on the quality of the hotel and some other factors (location etc). The visits in the archaeological sites are without a licensed guide. You have a lot of information about the sites and the monuments before entering the site though. Nor the cost of the entrance fees is including in the price of the tour. This cost is 12 Euro for each site, except for the Acropolis where it is higher and costs 30 Euro.
