With this modification the lease is ending in 2052. In 2008 the duration of the concession agreement was modified from 40 to 50 years. The Greek government leased the port zone lands, buildings and facilities of Piraeus Port to PPA for 40 years. In 2002 PPA and the Greek government signed a concession agreement. In the late 4th century BC Piraeus went into a long period of decline the harbours were only occasionally used for the Byzantine fleet and the city was mostly deserted throughout the Ottoman occupation of Greece. In the following years Themistocles initiated the construction of the port and created the ship sheds ( neosoikoi), while the Themistoclean Walls were completed in 471 BC, turning Piraeus into a great military and commercial harbour, which served as the permanent navy base for the mighty Athenian fleet. In 483 BC, the Athenian fleet left the older harbour of Phaleron and it was transferred to Piraeus, distinguishing itself at the battle of Salamis between the Greek city-states and the Persians in 480 BC. In 493 BC, Themistocles initiated the fortifications of Piraeus and later advised the Athenians to take advantage of its natural harbours' strategic potential. It was then that the area was increasingly silted and flooding ceased, thus permanently connecting Piraeus to Attica and forming its ports, the main port of Cantharus and the two smaller of Zea and Munichia. Until the 3rd millennium BC, Piraeus was a rocky island connected to the mainland by a low-lying stretch of land that was flooded with sea water most of the year.

The Port of Piraeus ( باليونانية: Λιμάνι του Πειραιά code: el is deprecated ) is the chief sea port of Athens, Greece, located on the Saronic Gulf on the western coasts of the Aegean Sea, the largest port in Greece and one of the largest in Europe. This way you’ll get on for sure and any elders can get one of the few seats on the X80. If there’s a lot of people awaiting for the X80’s return trip at the acropolis stop, walk up to Syntagma Square or cross the street and catch the bus where they dropped off the Acropolis visitors (Hadrian’s Arch) and do the loop back to where everyone is waiting. Here’s a big tip for you as all cruise passengers seem to head back to the ship approximately 1-2 hours before all aboard. Using Google Maps or a similar program makes it quite easy to get around when you’re in the area. The second time we got off at the acropolis stop by Hadrian’s arch before going to the Panathenaic stadium.
Once to syntagma square to watch the changing of the guards before seeing other things in the area. The ticket booth is near the port “car” exit.
#PIRAEUS PORT TERMINAL MAP DRIVER#
We paid the driver after dropping us off at the port. We paid the guide after the tour (she refused a tip) and got us into the museum (price included) and showed us where the driver would be waiting. We used a company called “Athen walks” and they charged the four of us 180€ for the guide (4hrs) and 50€ for the Mercedes (George) pickup and drop off. I took a private tour the first time to see the Parthenon, agora, museum and the acropolis area. I’ve been to Athens 3 times by cruise ship and most recently on the NCL Spirit.
