City Overview

Piraeus is Greece’s largest port and a Mediterranean shipping hub — the southwestern gateway of metro Athens and one of Europe’s busiest passenger ports (to the Aegean islands). Shipping (Greek shipowners and COSCO’s European hub), logistics and maritime industries cluster densely, and the University of Piraeus adds an academic side. Integrated with Athens by metro/suburban rail, costs are below central Athens — Greece’s shipping and logistics center.
