Sailing Holidays in
Piraeus
Let explore the Sailing Holidays area...
A major Greek port and amongst the biggest in the whole of the Mediterranean, Piraeus is an important city and often considered to be a suburb of Athens, which lies just minutes away. The most appealing area of Piraeus lies around its easterly quarter, alongside both the Mikrolimano Harbor and the Zea Marina. This seafront district is brimming with waterfront restaurants, bars and nightspots and tourists.
The area was greatly revamped in time for the recent Athens Olympics, with the creation of a beautiful harbor front promenade, lined with trees and passing the medieval city walls, offering an insight and historical information about the city's rich past.
