    Dear Karen & Tommy, Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! This really helps us as well as others to see the pros and cons on this tour. Certainly the 5 am from Athens to Piraeus is rather early. Due to Covid-19, we were quite worried in the beginning regarding the procedures (any delays). We will rethink about it and hopefully future customers will not have such a short night. Thank you once again for your kind feedback. Warm Regards, George Dot Travel Greece
