Understand

The Port of Piraeus is a vast territory that requires careful planning. Prior to your visit, make sure to check your gate number in advance to avoid any confusion. Getting from one end of the port to the other may take around 15 minutes by car or 30 minutes on foot. Since the privatization of the Port of Piraeus Authority, passenger facilities have significantly improved. Air-conditioned tents have been set up at departure locations, and free Wi-Fi internet access is available. Information regarding sailings (arrivals and departures) can be found outside the Coast Guard Building at Karaiskaki Square. The sailings are also available online for cruise ships, and the Ministry of Merchant Marine provides further information. During busy periods, especially in the summer, navigating the port can be hectic, so it's essential to allow plenty of time to find the correct departure gate.
