Piraeus It is a Greek city with a rich history. Located in Attica, southwest of Athens, it has served as a port for Athens, which is why it has always been full of travelers who moved from one place to another. The city is very well connected, so if you're in a hurry and can't wait for a boat to leave, you can take a taxi directly to the dock. But be careful with traffic, drivers don't usually brake too much. If you decide to visit this beautiful city, take note of some things you can do:
- Marina Zea
Zea, also called Pasalimani, is the area where the most fantastic yachts you can imagine are. They are in the marina area which is one of the largest in Europe. There are plenty of restaurants, shops, and taverns along the coast. Sit on a terrace and enjoy the views.
- Hellenic Maritime Museum
This nautical and naval museum has different exhibitions showing ancient and modern ships of Greek construction. You will also be able to see paintings, ship models, flags, maps, and all the equipment used on a ship. The strangest objects are models of ships made by prisoners carved from bone.
