Port overview

About Athens, Greece

The Acropolis rises above a city where ancient monuments sit beside everyday neighbourhood life. Pair its archaeological setting with the Acropolis Museum, or explore Plaka for neoclassical houses, small churches and lanes leading toward Monastiraki.

Piraeus is a separate port city with its own waterfront, maritime history and seafood districts. If you prefer to stay closer to the ship, consider its coastal neighbourhoods instead of making a rushed trip into central Athens.

For a city visit, allow for the journey from your assigned cruise terminal and the return to the ship. Choose one principal site and a nearby neighbourhood, and check entry arrangements and walking requirements before reserving.
