Sailor-man Posted May 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Disembarking from the Cunard Queen Elizabeth at Piraeus on June 20th. Not sure what terminal we will be disembarking from, but it could be Cruise Terminal A or the new Cruise Terminal B. Does anyone know if we need to prebook a cab transfer to downtown Athens or will there be cabs waiting to be hailed ship side? It's always a challenge estimating a pick up time unless you walk off the ship early which we don't want to do (we're checking into a hotel in Athens and it's not a long cab ride from the port). Any advice much appreciated on cabs at Piraeus Cruise Terminals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oliver Wilson Posted May 11, 2015 #3 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) There was a line of cabs waiting last June, we caught one. Plan to do the same in 2 weeks. The driver pushed for a tour but we declined and they took us straight to the Acropolis well before buses arrived. Hope this helps!

zqvol Posted May 12, 2015 #4 Share Posted May 12, 2015 It is your choice. You can prebook or use one of the many cabs that are in the cab line. Disembarked in Athens twice and plenty of cabs were available both times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradiselivin1 Posted May 12, 2015 #5 Share Posted May 12, 2015 Does anyone know what the typical cab fare from the airport to the cruise docks would be? I'm debating about paying for the Princess transfers but know they generally charge twice what you would normally pay. Thanks for any guidance.
