Piraeus (for Athens)
The port of Piraeus brings you to Athens, one of the great names of antiquity, the city of Plato and Socrates, a cradle of Western civilisation and birthplace of democracy.
You can step into history on the heights of the Acropolis with its glorious 2,500 years-old Parthenon dating from the Golden Age of Classical Greece. Below, in the heart of the city lies the ancient Plaka district's honeycomb of streets, little shops - and tavernas that come alive at night with the pulse of bouzouki.
