Piraeus, Port settlement in Athens Metropolitan Area, Greece
The large port complex of Piraeus includes three natural harbors with passenger terminals, cargo facilities, and multiple ferry connections to Greek islands.
During the 5th century BC, Themistocles transformed Piraeus into a fortified military harbor connected to Athens by the Long Walls defense system.
The Archaeological Museum of Piraeus exhibits bronze statues, ancient artifacts, and maritime objects representing the naval heritage of this Mediterranean port.
Metro line 1 connects Piraeus to central Athens in 20 minutes, while ferries depart from multiple terminals to serve destinations across the Aegean Sea.
The Mikrolimano fishing port maintains its traditional character with small fishing boats delivering fresh catches directly to waterfront restaurants.
