15 Best Hotels Near Port of Piraeus (Athens)

The port of Piraeus is one of the major homeports in the Eastern Mediterranean and the gateway to the Greek capital city of Athens, known for its spectacular Acropolis and ancient ruins.

The city of Piraeus is situated 10 km/6 miles (a 20-minute drive) southeast of Athens. The two cities are connected via Metro Line 1 which departs from Piraeus city center and the traveling time is 15 minutes. The distance between the port of Piraeus and Piraeus city center is 20 minutes by walk.

If this is your first time in Athens, I suggest you stay at least a few days before or after your cruise. When it comes to accommodation, there are 2 main locations where you should book:

• Athens city center. The city center is well connected by metro with the city of Piraeus, plus, Athens is easily explored on foot and all attractions are within walking distance.
• Piraeus city center. In the city of Piraeus, you can find affordable accommodation and still be near Athens and the port.

In this article, I selected the 15 best hotels near the port of Piraeus, including the ones in Athens.
