About Piraeus
Piraeus occupies a huge territory. Check your gate number in advance, so you know where to go. It may take 15 minutes of driving or 30 minutes of walking to reach one end of the port from the other. Since privatisation of thePort of Piraeus Authority, passenger facilities have improved greatly. Air conditioned tents have been set up at departure locations around the port, and free wi-fi internet access is now available. Ship arrivals and departures are posted outside the Coast Guard Building at Karaiskaki Square, the main bus terminal of Piraeus. The area can become hectic, especially during the summer period, so allow plenty of time to navigate to the correct departure point. Piraeus was founded in the early 5th century BC, assuming great importance as the new port ofclassical Athens. Bui
