Location: Piraeus is located just 12 km south of the center of Athens and is one of the most important commercial and passenger ports in Europe, serving passenger traffic to more than 200 inhabited islands in Greece, whose main connection to the mainland is through the port of Piraeus.
Unique features: A seaside and family-friendly neighborhood that still retains its authenticity, Piraeus is the city where Greece's strong shipping industry was born and still maintains its strong maritime character today, with most shipping companies based there. Also, Olympiacos and the Rowing Club of Eretai, the oldest active rowing club in the Balkans, are based here.
The municipality has 140 schools and 2 universities, the University of Economics and the Higher School of Naval Cadets. In this city, you will find the beautifully restored Municipal Theater, the Veakeio, the Archaeological Museum, the Maritime Museum, the Railway Museum, and the Municipal Gallery. Piraeus is characterized by small picturesque coves with very good fish taverns, while it also includes all the habits of a big city such as shops, cinemas, theaters, restaurants, bars, cafes, and museums.
Accessibility: Piraeus now has three new metro stations that allow it to be fully connected to the center of Athens and other areas, with a total time to the airport being just 1 hour. It also has a tram, a railway station, and several bus lines. Finally, it is the main transport hub for passenger, commercial ships, and cruise ships.
Investment potential: The neighborhood has significantly benefited from the development of the port of Piraeus, the expansion of the metro, and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, making it a top choice for real estate investments.
