Good Hotel or Rental Apartment Near Piraeus?

[voula_slat]

I'm planning a trip to Greece with a group of friends, and we're looking for accommodations near Piraeus Port. Our group has mixed plans: some will be island hopping, while others will stay around Athens. So, being close to the port would give us the flexibility we need.

We'll be in Greece for about 10 days, and we're open to both hotels and rental apartments. Key factors for us are:

• Proximity to Piraeus Port for easy ferry access
• Comfortable and clean accommodations
• Options that can accommodate a group setting

If you've stayed in the area and have any recommendations or experiences to share, we'd greatly appreciate your insights!

I recently stayed near Piraeus Port with a group, and it worked out really well—especially for those of us catching early ferries. If you're looking for convenience, I recommend staying within walking distance of Gate E9 or E10, where many ferries depart.

Hotel Phidias Piraeus is a solid option—very clean, great service, and they even offer free shuttle service to your ferry gate, which was a lifesaver with luggage. For something more spacious, check out The Port Square Hotel or Cavo D’Oro, which has family rooms and suites.

If you're leaning toward apartments, Airbnb has a lot of group-friendly options with balconies and kitchens, which came in handy for breakfasts together before splitting off for the day.

The area has great access to bakeries, tavernas, and even the metro if you're heading into Athens. Just double-check walking distance to your specific ferry gate—it makes a big difference.
