Location information for Piraeus

Introduction

Already in ancient times Piraeus was an important port city, where the Greek navy was based. Piraeus never gave up that port function; it's still the port of Athens, the capital of Greece.

Population

Approximately 175,000 people live in the city itself, but Piraeus lies in a metropolitan area with a population of half a million people.

Location

Piraeus is located 12 kilometers southwest of Athens, on the Saronic Gulf (in Greek: Saronikós kólpos), part of the Aegean Sea. The suburbs of Athens start east and northeast of the city.

Economy

Piraeus' port is the main port of Greece and the largest passenger's port of Europe. Annually, about 20 million people travel from the port to one of the Greek islands, Cyprus, or destinations in the Middle East. It's also the largest transshipment port in the eastern Mediterranean.

Airports

The nearest airport is Athens International Airport, in a direct line about 30 kilometers east of Piraeus, but by road the distance amounts to 40 to 50 kilometers (depending on the route). The longest, but often also fastest route, runs via the E75 and Attiki Odos.

Public Transport

Piraeus is connected with the Greek capital's subway system. Subway line 1 connects the center of Athens with the ferry port. Most ferry bridges are at walking distance from the subway station and free shuttle buses run to ferries further out. Buses also run between the port of Piraeus and Athens, Athens International Airport, and other places on southern Greek coast.

Traffic and Parking

The port of Piraeus is busy and chaotic. Think of the traffic in the center of the Greek capital, but then even worse. Cars, taxis and trucks often run crisscross around the port. You'll have no trouble parking your rental car: there are large parking lots near the port. Don't leave any valuables in your car, not even in the trunk. Attention: the official spelling of Piraeus has recently been changed to Pireas and this is how the city is currently signposted.

Hotels

Piraeus doesn't offer a lot of accommodations, because most people don't stay in the city but immediately take the ferry. There are some basic guesthouses and hotels near the bus station, not far from the ferry port.

What most people want to know

The following questions and answers are a selection of the most popular questions. If you do not find the answer to your question, have a look at the Frequently Asked Questions page or contact us.

Is EasyTerra Car Rental the cheapest?

Yes, we offer a guarantee of the lowest price - because we compare various retailers, we can always offer you the best price in town.

What do I need to do when picking up a car?

To pick up your car, you will need your voucher, passport, driver's license and a credit card. It is very important that your driver's license and credit card are in the same name as the main driver. Keep in mind that the local rental company will reserve a certain amount on your credit card as a deposit. This requires the PIN code for your credit card. If your driver's license is foreign (for example, in Chinese), you must bring a translation with you. Only your original passport and driver's license will be accepted - a copy is not sufficient.

Are there any additional costs?

Our rates are all-inclusive. Our reservation department will inform you in advance should additional costs apply. You can always cancel your booking free of charge if you do not agree (this must be done at least 48 hours prior to the start of the car hire period).

What kind of insurance is applicable to my car rental?

In general, Liability Insurance, Fire Insurance, All-Risks Insurance and Theft Insurance are included in the cost of your rental car.

What is a worry-free label?

Only rental companies with a high level of customer satisfaction are eligible to be included in our Worry-Free selection. This rate includes excess cover and unlimited kilometres. Your vehicle will be provided and must be returned with a full tank of fuel. With a vehicle from our Worry-Free selection, you can travel with peace of mind and no hidden costs.

How can I change or cancel my reservation?

You can cancel your reservation through "My Account". We recommend contacting us by phone if your changes to your booking or cancellation takes place at short notice (48 hours or less).

When will I get a confirmation of my booking?

Most reservations will receive confirmation within minutes after payment takes place. We recommend contacting our Booking Department for last minute reservations (pick-up within 48 hours).
