ISLAND FEELING

Piraeus: Location and surroundings of this property

Location: Piraeus is just 12 kms to the south of Athens city centre and is one of the most important commercial and passenger ports in Europe, servicing passenger traffic to more than 200 inhabited islands in Greece, whose main connection with the mainland is via the Piraeus port. Unique features: A family-friendly seaside neighbourhood that still retains its authenticity, Piraeus is where Greece’s powerful shipping industry was born, and it retains its strong maritime character with most shipping companies as well as the Piraeus Marine Club and the Yacht Club of Greece based here. It is home to the beautifully restored Municipal Theatre and the Archeological Museum of Piraeus. Piraeus has some of the most picturesque bays such as Mikrolimano, lined with upscale fish restaurants and has the usual big-city delights of shops, cinemas, theatres, and museums. Accessibility: Well connected to trams, train stations, bus services and to the islands. It is Greece’s main passenger terminal for ferries and cruise ships. Investment potential: The neighborhood benefitted hugely from the Piraeus Port Development, Flisvos Marina redevelopment ad to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation, making it a prime choice for real estate investors.
