The Piraeus is the ancient port of Athens, and still functions as the chief exit point from the city by sea, for destinations among the Aegean Islands and elsewhere in the east Mediterranean. Once an island, it underwent a major reconstruction in 1834, which has made it an international success for Athens today.

Piraeus is a melting pot of old and new treasures, where antiquity and modernity effortlessly delight the senses. These are the Piraeus Athena and Piraeus Artemis, cast in the 4th century BC, and the much older, High Archaic Piraeus Apollo, from the 6th century BC.This bay and natural harbour is the second largest of Piraeus’ three ports.If you have time to spare, you could walk from one side of the harbour entrance to the other, under swaying palm fronds and with lots of interesting little things to look out for.At the narrow entrance you can spot the remains of Piraeus ancient walls and the foundations of shipyards where Athens’ triremes ships would have been assembled.Continue up towards the inner part of the harbour you can take in Piraeus’ modern cityscape and get an eyeful of the swanky yachts on the water.In Ottoman times the Bay of Zea was where Athens’ pashas would come to bathe with their harems, which is the origin of the name Paşalimanı.The harbour at Mikrolimano is an almost perfect oval, with just a small opening on its east side.In ancient times Mikrolimano was Athens’ main naval port, dedicated to the goddess Artemis (Mounichia) and with more than 80 ship sheds where posh fish restaurants sit today.Later, in Byzantine times it was known as Fanari for a lighthouse (fanos) at the harbour mouth and that has name has stuck to the 21st century.Over the water, like tiers of an amphitheatre are rows of houses climbing up the hill in Kastella, while down below luxury yachts bob in the water.Mikrolimano is an upscale seafood destination for tourists and affluent Athens residents.They’ll dine on the wooden quays with views of those luxury yachts and the bowl of houses up the hillside.Although Piraeus is a separate city, Line 1 of the Athens Metro will take you to the heart of the capital in no time at all.For some ancient sightseeing, the Acropolis, Ancient Agora and their catalogue of monuments are spaced fairly tightly together.All you need is some comfy, sensible shoes, because you’ll be doing a lot of climbing, up some slippery marble surfaces.You may have to pinch yourself at the Acropolis Museum to remind yourself that you’re really looking at the friezes of the Parthenon or the famous caryatids of the Erechtheion.Down in the Agora you’ll be where democracy took root in the 5th century BC, and may get chills to know that you’re walking the same ground as Plato and Socrates.And the frissons continue at the Theatre of Dionysus where works by Sophocles and Euripides were first performed at the ancient Dionysia theatre competition.Piraeus’ traffic-clogged streets seem a world far away in the Kastella neighbourhood just north and west of Mikrolimano.By far the prettiest part of the city, Kastella is a hillside quarter of mansions going back to the 19th century, witnesses to a prosperous past.As you labour up streets like Falireos, Irakleous, Vasileos Pavlou and Foskolou you can look back for restorative vistas of the sea and the city.From the olive trees and pines around the Church of the Prophet Elias you can see as far as the coastal town of Vouliagmeni, almost 30 kilometres to the southeast.In 1821 fighters under the command of the famed revolutionary figure Georgios Karaiskakis were besieged on this hill by the Ottomans.Opened in 2005, this museum was the labour of love of Manolis Fotopoulos, a former employee of Athens–Piraeus Electric Railways.From his retirement in 1995 he spent a decade trawling through antiques shops, warehouses and even in rubbish tips for memorabilia relating to the brand.He assembled uniforms, photographs, newspaper cuttings and books, and the railway company soon caught on, contributing wagons, other rolling stock and control and signalling equipment for the museum.The attraction soon found a home in Piraeus Station and has more than 2,000 objects to examine, accompanied by some 3,000 books, posters and photographs.Piraeus’ first Church of the Holy Trinity was founded in 1839 but was completely wiped out in the bombing in 1944.
