Cruise Ship Location Port of Piraeus (Athens)

We used Welcome pickups last October to go from airport to hotel and then hotel to cruise terminal.  Highly recommend them. Another cruiser was overcharged by a regular taxi from their hotel to the cruise terminal

Does anyone know what is the location that Azamara docks in the Port of Piraeus? We are looking at how we will get there from Athens.

A tip from what I do. Download the Marine Traffic app and then on the morning of going to the ship do a search and find it on the map and you can show your driver where exactly it is. Useful with large ports like Piraeus. I've used it a lot of times on those occasions.

Azamara usually docks at the Piraeus Cruise Terminal A. We disembarked there on April 8th and it's a fairly easy terminal. A taxi from the Terminal to our hotel Downtown near the Plaka and Syntagma Square was about 20 Euro incl. a large tip. You can also take the Metro, Piraeus Metro Station is close by.

Good advice Phil. We were at Terminal B both times last year. There is a big board as drivers enter the town and most taxi drivers double check then as well

Just the info I was looking for. Taxi seems the easiest and best. I was thinking of the bus or metro but taxi is pretty reasonable.

If taking a taxi, make sure you clearly write on a piece of paper "AZAMARA CRUISE" and the address in Piraeus.  Very clearly in BLOCK LETTERS.  This is something I do in every destination when taking a taxi.

 

One time, a taxi driver in Athens (and other cities) didn't speak English (he probably didn't even speak Greek), but he stopped, I wrote the destination and he took me there.

 

In Athens, I prefer to take Uber.  Uber was very reliable, most were young drivers who spoke English, but I read that they only have Uber taxi now.  Still is preferable so the driver know your destination, it's paid directly, you can add tip, and you have a contact info in case you forget something..

It is likely to be cruise terminal A, but if it is one of those days where there might be 6-8 ships docking, you could be in 1 of 3 spots as depicted on the map earlier.  On the morning of embarkation, use cruisemapper.com to find where the ship is physically.

We are getting off the Pursuit on Oct 19th 2024 and planning to immediately get on a ferry to Hydra.  Looks like Terminal A to the ferry terminal is almost walkable.

There really is no way of knowing at which terminal you will be docked until embark/disembark day.  We've used Pireaus many times and have been to all the terminals.

 

We did the exact same once, disembark and ferry immediately to Hydra.  No way we would have walked with bags...long trek.

I couldn’t imagine dragging bags in the heat for the sake of 10 euro taxi
