Arriving in Greece on a cruise should be an exciting experience for every traveller, including those who use a wheelchair, mobility scooter, or have reduced mobility.
Unfortunately, many standard cruise excursions are not designed with accessibility in mind. Uneven streets, inaccessible vehicles, steep routes, and large group tours can make sightseeing challenging.
Each traveler deserves the opportunity to discover the beauty, history, and culture of Greece in comfort and confidence. That's why we have created a range of fully accessible shore excursions from Greece's most popular cruise ports.
Why Choose an Accessible Shore Excursion?
An accessible excursion is much more than transportation.
It's a carefully planned experience designed around your individual mobility needs, allowing you to enjoy your visit without worrying about barriers along the way.

Our excursions include:
Fully wheelchair-accessible vehicles
Experienced and trained staff
Carefully selected accessible routes and easy paths
Flexible itineraries according to guests' preferences and needs
Comfortable pacing with plenty of time to enjoy each destination
Personal assistance whenever required
Aid equipment avilability
Whether you travel independently, with family, or as part of a group, we ensure your day ashore is relaxing and enjoyable.

Mobility Equipment Rental for a More Comfortable Experience
To help you enjoy your shore excursion safely and comfortably, CareUnderSun also offers a range of mobility equipment rental solutions. Having the right equipment can make a significant difference, allowing you to explore more, feel more independent, and enjoy your time ashore without unnecessary limitations.

Combining the right mobility equipment with our accessible transportation and carefully planned itineraries ensures a smoother, safer, and more enjoyable experience throughout your visit to Greece.

More Than Just a Tour
You need to understand both the destinations and the accessibility challenges that travellers may encounter. We work hard to ensure every excursion is safe, comfortable, and memorable from the moment you leave your cruise ship until you return. A shore excursion is not only about sightseeing; it is about connecting with the culture, history, and local people. It is an opportunity to experience authentic moments, discover traditions, and create meaningful memories beyond the landmarks.

Cruise visits often allow only a few hours to explore, making careful planning essential.
Booking your accessible excursion in advance guarantees that your accessible vehicle, equipment, and itinerary are ready when your ship arrives.
Whether your cruise stops in Athens, Katakolo, Corfu, Heraklion, Santorini, or Mykonos, we want to help you experience Greece without limits.
Our mission is simple: to help every traveller experience the beauty, history, and culture of Greece with confidence, independence, and peace of mind.
