Tip of the day – Discover Piraeus, the port of Athens, before or after your ferry!

• May 25, 2023

Piraeus, Greece’s largest port, is more than just a gateway to the islands — it’s a destination in its own right. While millions pass through on their way to the ferries each summer, few take the time to explore its hidden corners, seaside promenades, and authentic local spots. Now is the perfect moment to discover its charm! Thanks to the recent extension of the metro’s blue line, reaching Piraeus from the city center or the airport has never been quicker or easier. So why not start your adventure here, before you even set sail? Below, you’ll find some of the annual events that bring Piraeus to life — the perfect opportunity to get to know the port of Athens better.
