About Piraeus
Piraeus was known in medieval times as Porto
Leone, a name due to the enormous stone lion, which guarded the port's entrance.
So, its life had been joined to the sea since its creation.
Today, the life of
Piraeus is centered on its three ports. You can walk around the central harbour,
shared by cargo and passenger ships alike, and watch the constant comings and
goings of goods and people from around the world.
Then, continue your walk to the other two harbors, Zea and
Mikrolimano, maybe more touristy and more pleasant for the visitors.
As we are going to show you Piraeus is
not only a harbor. This city is full of surprises and unexpected sights
worth to explore.
