Athens FAQ

If we arrive in Piraeus in the morning will we be able to make it into Athens in time for a tour?

Generally, yes. The port of Piraeus is only 10 miles from Athens and well connected by metro. In fact, the metro is usually the quickest way to get into Athens, bypassing the busy road. It will take about 20 minutes to get to the Monastiraki station from Piraeus. Note that the port of Piraeus is quite large and it make take 15-20 minutes to walk to the station. So, planning for at least an hour from the time you disembark to the start time of our walk is a good idea.
