An unforgettable journey through the Persian Wars
I joined the Persian Wars special tour (Marathon, Thermopylae, Plataea and Salamis) and it was outstanding from start to finish. General Koutris was a superb guide. His command of the history, the strategy and the terrain brought each battle to life, and standing where it all happened made the ancient accounts feel immediate. The weapons demonstration and the walk through each battlefield were highlights. Our driver was extremely professional, punctual and calm, which kept a packed schedule running smoothly. The energy of the whole group was fantastic, and I learnt more in two days than I expected to in a month of reading. I will certainly return for another tour. Strongly recommended for serious history lovers.

2 Days Persian Wars Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Athens.
How much does 2 Days Persian Wars Tour cost?
+
Prices start at €750 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Athens usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2 Days Persian Wars Tour take?
+
Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Athens is not rushed.
Is 2 Days Persian Wars Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Athens, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Persian Wars Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2 Days Persian Wars Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2 Days Persian Wars Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Athens can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Athens and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2 Days Persian Wars Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Athens within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Athens?
+
On Outty we rank every Athens experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Athens Scenic Bike Tour with Regular or Electric Bike + Acropolis, Athens Small Group E-Bike Tour, Acropolis E-bike Tour With Entrance Tickets. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Athens?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Athens?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in 2 Days Persian Wars Tour?
+
Included: Exact replicas of ancient weapons for guests' experience; All museum and exhibition entrance fees; Bottled water; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Meals. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for 2 Days Persian Wars Tour?
+
Othonos Street is at Syntagma Square in the centre of Athens. Look out for our black minibus with the sign "Hellenic Battlefield Tours". Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is 2 Days Persian Wars Tour offered in?
+
It is offered in Greek and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2 Days Persian Wars Tour?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to 2 Days Persian Wars Tour if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
