Piraeus

A historic port with a modern pulse, Piraeus is far more than just a gateway to the Greek islands - it's a destination in its own right.

Wander through bustling markets and lively marinas, sip coffee along the scenic harbors of Mikrolimano and Zea and explore cultural landmarks like the Archaeological Museum of Piraeus and the ancient theatre of Zea. Whether you're catching a ferry, attending a business meeting or simply exploring the city's vibrant neighborhoods, Piraeus surprises at every turn.

By day, uncover layers of history and local life; by night, enjoy a thriving food scene, waterfront bars and rooftop views of ships gliding in and out of port. From fresh seafood tavernas to contemporary art spaces, the city is full of contrasts that somehow flow together effortlessly.

Piraeus invites you to slow down, look closer - and see the city behind the sails.
