Welcome to Piraeus, the vibrant heart of the Athenian coastline and so much more than just a gateway to the islands. You'll feel the city's pulse as you wander from the bustling main port to the charming, yacht-filled marinas of Zea and Mikrolimano. Pull up a chair at a seaside taverna for some of the freshest seafood you'll ever taste, and then explore the handsome neoclassical buildings and remnants of ancient walls that tell tales of a rich maritime history.
