The city of Piraeus is a part of the Athens urban sprawl, but can be considered a unique city in its own right, as it is the largest port in Europe, and the 3rd largest in the world, so it has its own rich history that can be seen through the architecture and historical monuments that are scattered throughout the city. As one of the major ferry ports in Greece, providing ferries to countless destinations across the Aegean Sea, the ferry terminal here is the perfect place to wait for your next ferry, with not only all the amenities that you may need, but also easy access to the main facilities of the town.
The island of Poros is located close to the coast of Greece, within the Saronic Islands, and is known as a popular weekend getaway for local Greeks, thanks to its array of golden beaches, and its many walking trails that cut through the lush vegetation across the island. Whilst the port here is incredibly small, there is quick access to the town's facilities, such as restaurants and shops, thanks to the ports location right at the heart of the town.
