What is there to do in Athens?

The largest ferry port in the Mediterranean, Piraeus hosts over 20 million passengers a year, all passing through the busy port city that dominates the east coast. Piraeus is a city in its own right, yet few choose to spend over a day in the buzzing hub of shops, shipping offices and busy streets - those that do stay on the mainland tend to slide away into the allure of Athens’ city centre. The proximity to the capital, as well as the constant maritime traffic ensures that the city has enough to entertain tourists and the half a million local residents; the walk along the seafront promenade is a picturesque trail of flowers, trees and beautiful views – perfect for watching the ships sail along the crystal blue sea. Away from the port, Piraeus’ famous market attracts many visitors hoping to snag a bargain, before they move onto the shopping centres or embark on a sightseeing tour of the grand architecture. There are lesser known spots all over the bustling city, the most attractive being Zea Marina, a metropolis of restaurants, cafes and bars, typically adorned by workers and passengers who are winding down after a long day of travel.


Kavala Guide

Kavala Ferry Port

Kavala Port lies on the coast of Northern Greece, and is the main port for the city of Kavala, Greece’s second largest city in the northern region. The historic buildings paint Kavala as one of the most picturesque cities in Greece, and when the sea breeze flows through the streets it creates an energy that is unique to the city. The port itself prompted the evolution of the city’s progression and became the gateway to ports around the Aegean Sea and the coast of Asia Minor. In modern times, the port is primarily used for fishing and public transport, though it is also home to a growing water sports scene. The city has shred its tag of the ‘Mecca of Tobacco’ which it was labelled during the time the bourgeoisie were beginning to take command of the city. The enigmatic character of the city is still intact, though it has recently become a much friendlier and welcoming town. The port is particularly welcoming; several thousand visitors pass through the terminal each year, with daily crossings during the summer months. The port offers sailings to many nearby islands and resorts, including the Aegean Islands, Lesbos and other islands belonging to Greece. The ferry companies offering the crossings are considered to be the best in the region, and offer food and drink to passengers whilst on board.
