Piraeus, located in the southeast of Greece, is home to Europe's biggest passenger port and as such is a huge draw for cruise ships from around the world bringing tourists eager to explore this centuries-old city. With a population of more than 160,000, Piraeus has many attractions to fill an entire vacation including religious and historic landmarks and fantastic restaurants. But yet another major draw is the fact that it's easy to visit Athens because it's located nearby. The Greek capital city of Athens is just 12 kilometers (7 miles) from Piraeus Port.
