Athens (Piraeus) Embarkation
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.
