Cruises from Piraeus Port
Piraeus serves as the port of Athens and at the same time the main gateway to routes across the Aegean Sea, so it is precisely here that it is most convenient to begin your introduction to the Greek islands. Celestyal Cruises is based here, a Greek company specializing in short itineraries around the Aegean islands. This format is well suited for those who want to see several islands in one week rather than staying in one place for an extended period. In addition to Celestyal, the port regularly welcomes cruise ships from other major companies heading to the islands of the Aegean and Ionian seas.
To get to Piraeus, Ukrainians most often fly via airports in neighboring countries with connections to Athens, while residents of Europe can take advantage of a direct flight to the Greek capital. The port is located relatively close to Athens’ airport, so getting there after landing usually doesn’t take much time. If you wish, before boarding the cruise ship you can set aside a day for a short introduction to Athens. Arrival on the day of boarding should be confirmed in advance, as the port of Piraeus is large and has several separate terminals.
