Piraeus
The gateway to the Greek islands, and increasingly a home port rather than a stop.
Piraeus is where Athens meets the Aegean: the ferry hub for the whole island network and a cruise port where the majority of traffic now begins and ends rather than passing through. Zea Marina and the Mikrolimano waterfront are the parts worth walking.
1.85 million cruise passengers, 60% of them home-porting2025
