In case you travel by boat, you can get to the city centre from Piraeus Port (or the opposite) fast and easily by metro line 1 (green line). The Omonoia Square in the city centre is only 20 minutes away.

There is a bridge that connects the entrance of the port with the metro station. In case you debark from a boat that stops far away from the bridge, don’t worry; there is a bus that takes you for free to the entrance of the port (just opposite to the metro station).
