Seven miles outside of historic Athens, the Greek coastal city of Piraeus lies upon the sparkling waters of the Aegean Sea and is the largest passenger port in Europe, servicing nearly 20 million passengers per year. A popular port for Mediterranean cruises, this ancient city is sure to enchant you with its picturesque coastline, immersive museums, and fine dining. Head to Mikrolimano Harbor to take advantage of the sea breeze, watch luxury yachts float by, or sample from locally-caught seafood. Get a taste of local culture and history at the Archaeological Museum of Piraeus or the Hellenic Maritime Museum, both easily accessible from the shore. To reach Athens, hop aboard a bus in the Piraeus city center and take a quick drive north. |
