| Piraeus | From central athens to cruise ship and reverse Posted: Wed July 9, 2008 08:33 PM UTC
I understand that the Pireas metro stop is the location of the ferries. Are the cruise ships there as well??
How do I get from the cruise port (Megas Limoni) to the Acropolis stop?? No taxis please!! |

MEGALO LIMANI (great harbour), not megas limoni (which sounds more like big lemon to me)!
Cruise ship terminals A and B are a couple of miles from the Piraeus metro stop, and it would take you 20-25 minutes to walk it. You need to find out exactly where your ship will be and whether they are operating a free shuttle from the railway station (15 minutes from cruise terminals), otherwise there are local buses from the cruise terminal to both railway and metro station. See http://forum.virtualtourist.com/discussion-427559- Map on here doesn't show the cruise terminal but it's right at the bottom http://www.cretetravel.com/Athens/Athens_mini_guid You can also download port map from here http://www.mccruises.gr/index.asp?a_id=124

See the website http://www.europeportreviews.com/Athens.htm, I think it will answer your question very well. I just stumbled on this site tonight in the course of trying to find out how to get from the cruise ship dock in Piraeus to Athens without having to pay a huge sum for a taxi.
Also see the website http://www.travelinfo.gr/athens/transportation.htm, which has some good info. about the public trans. system in Athens. Have a great trip!
