Piraeus (Athens), Greece Port Reviews

Did not offer excursions.

Not what I expected

The docking location was switched and we had to ferry across. We had a private tour scheduled but were slated for the tenth ferry. The fifth ferry got across in time for our excursion time. Lack of communication. Anyone with excursions should have been let off first.

Great historical and religious excursions

Confirmation email (nor any information from Azamara) doesn’t mention exact embarkation Pier location. As we arrived at the port, we were expected some signs or last minute update text, but nothing. We end up asking local people who work at the port to find where Azamara ship was and we took taxi in hurry as it is a huge port. We planed and had plenty of time but didn’t feel in ease. Luck of communication from Azamara for this. As we check in, we were asked room number instead of confirmation #. The most recent confirmation email from Azamara doesn’t say my room number, I had to dig in old emails to find it. Wish the last confirmation email from Azamara includes Room # instead of confirmation # that nobody asks.

We did an excursion to the Acropolis/Parthenon - it was great!

Other than driving through Athens, and boarding the ship, didn't see much but seemed nice.

Hop on hop off was great way to get to the port… and see the city.

I loved Athens. We did the hop on hop off bus and were able to see a lot of Athens.

Went to the Acropolis and Parthenon. A must see. Again, thousands of people, but the tour guides certainly know how to deal with it. Enjoyed it very much.
