If you’re boarding a cruise ship at Piraeus port (Athens), the simplest way to get between the hotel or your address and the ship is to buy a transfer from your cruise line. This can be expensive and crowded. However many passengers resent having to pay hefty prices for a 20-minute ride by chartered coach. Also, you can reach the cruise port by bus, train, tram, or taxi.

Description
Before deciding how to reach the cruise terminal, you’ll need to know where your ship will be moored. Megaships and other large vessels of cruise lines such as Roya Caribbean, Holland America, Costa, MSC, Princess, celebrity cruises NCL cruises and many more, normally use the cruise terminals A, B, and C. Smaller ships often use Marina Zea, Marina Flisvos close to Piraeus port.
Piraeus port is the largest and one of the most important departures and destination ports of the Mediterranean sea; with a very high volume of people arriving and departing from the cruise terminal. A pre-booked transfer is a smart way to save time and money and to avoid complications as long lines at the taxi rank at the cruise terminal.
In addition, if you have time to spend at your arrival before your embarkation, you can make the most of your transfer by asking us to make a swift tour of Athens city before getting you to your cruise ship.
