Day 1 · Greece

Athens (Piraeus)

Embarkation

Depart 17:00

Piraeus is the port of Athens, not a suburb of it: a working harbour big enough that terminals are a shuttle ride apart, half an hour southwest of the city. Nearly every Greek Isles itinerary starts here, and nearly everyone spends a day or two in Athens first, which is the right instinct.
