Best access for mobility impaired Athens?

[Petenviv]

 Hello fellow cruisers......time to start to think about Excursions for October. Never done Greek Islands before so any advice please for seeing a LOT with MINIMUM WALKING!  I use a wheeled walking rolator which does fold right down like a child's buggy, but obviously is not much good on cobbles/ stones/sand etc or steps/stairs. We don't mind a hoho bus or similar or booking minibus type Independent tours ...but not at over £100 per person! Hope someone has some advice. The other 3 in our group of 4 use walking sticks...can only manage short distances without rests. We are on P&O Arcadia, thanks

In Athens I definitely would recommend the hop on hop off bus without hopping oft, or any other panoramic tour. Acropolis, plaka, most of tourist areas have uneven grounds.

Visit the National Archaeological Museum.  It is a phenomenal place.  There is plenty of space for rolators, and most of the exhibits are on one floor.  

 

Other museum that I'd recommend is the Museum of Cycladic Arts and the Benaki Museum. 

 

I was not impressed with the exhibitions of the Acropolis Museum.  For mobility limited folks, Acropolis Museum is not ideal, because it has several sloping floors to navigate.

There is elevator for handicapped people to get up to the Acropolis.

Paved walk up to pay gates at Acropolis. Then easy access to golf buggy which will take you to lift. Excellent service. New flat paving around Parthenon and temple.
