Coming from the Port
Piraeus is the main port in Athens, accommodating around 20 million passengers every year. Located around 10 km southwest of the city centre and 45 km from the airport, Piraeus is the gateway to the Greek islands and the landing point for cruises to Athens.
By Metro
Athens Metro Line 3 connects Piraeus to the city centre (Syntagma Square) in 20 minutes. The same line reaches the Athens Airport in about 55 minutes.
By Train
Line 1 (overground train) runs from the port of Piraeus and meets Athens Metro line 3 at Monastiraki Station, which takes you to Syntagma Square.
By Bus
Bus 040 runs from Piraeus to Syntagma Square 24 hours a day. The X80 is an express bus from Piraeus to Syntagma, running every half hour from 7 am to 9:30 pm, available from May through October.
By Taxi
Taxis line the port, especially in the summer months, so you should have no problem picking up a cab on arrival. During high season the demand is high, so you may have to wait in line. Use one of the radio taxis or a taxi app like Taxiplon or the Beat app to have a taxi waiting for you at the port. The cost from Piraeus to the city centre is around €25.
