Why book your Piraeus transfer ahead?

Piraeus is one of Europe's busiest ports. On days when several cruise ships dock together, taxi queues are long and it gets chaotic. A pre-booked transfer saves precious time – especially when you only have a few hours in the city.

From the port to your hotel or the Acropolis

The drive from Piraeus to central Athens usually takes about half an hour, depending on traffic. Go straight to your hotel, start a day at the Acropolis and Plaka, or add stops on the way.

A day in the city between sailings

In port for just a few hours? Yana can arrange a driver to pick you up at the port, take you to the main sights and bring you back to the ship on time – no stress.

From Piraeus to the airport

Finishing a cruise and flying home? There's a direct transfer from the port to Athens airport with room for everyone's luggage.

Vehicles for every group size

A private car for couples, a van for families and a minibus for groups – new, clean vehicles, reliable drivers and child seats on request.

How to book

Send Yana the ship's name, date, docking time and number of passengers on WhatsApp. She arranges everything and keeps you updated.
