Compare 5 airports near Piraeus
For the majority of travelers heading to Piraeus, Athens International Airport "Eleftherios Venizelos" (ATH) is the only practical choice. It is the only airport on this list located within the Athens metropolitan area, offering seamless direct access via the Blue Metro Line or the X96 express bus. All other listed airports are located in neighboring cities or islands and serve as regional gateways rather than entrances to Piraeus. Araxos Airport (GPA) serves the Patras region and requires a long journey by land or private transfer to reach the capital. Similarly, Syros Island Airport (JSY), Skyros Island National Airport (SKU), and Skiathos International Airport (JSI) are dedicated to their respective islands. Travelers choosing these remote airports should expect to incorporate ferry journeys or regional bus connections to reach the mainland. Unless you have specific travel requirements in those island groups or the Peloponnese, prioritize Athens for maximum speed and transit convenience.

The 24-hour front desk offers excellent service. They have a free 24-hour fresh coffee machine, and the room size is just right, with a cozy color scheme. You can cook in the room, and there's a refrigerator available. The location near the train station is very convenient, with great amenities nearby. The price is reasonable, and I'd definitely consider staying here again next time I'm in Athens for a cruise.FromUS$85

We spent one night at The Alex before taking a ferry from Pireaus and we were so pleasantly surprised. The hotel is beautifully designed and immaculate (it even has the most incredible scent throughout.) The service was great, and the rooftop restaurants food was top notch. The rooms are very small but especially for our needs it wasn't an issue. Great quality for money and 100% recommend.FromUS$130

Great priced hotel adjacent to a large park. Only a few minutes walk from Piraeus Port Gates 7, 8 & 9 and Metro into Athens and airport. Surrounded by bars, restaurants, harbour and only 10 minute walk to beach.
Room very clean, bathroom modern and decor tasteful with soft furnishings and fittings all coordinated. Air-conditioning great and mini fridge actually cold. Towels and toiletries provided too. Yes the wardrobes and furniture a bit dated but have been painted to give more contemporary feel and everything matches, even the scatter cushions and curtains. Added bonus was lovely balcony overlooking the park. The staff too - front of house, cleaners, waiting staff all smiley and helpful.
Seriously, for the price including a light continental breakfast you can't go wrong. We would highly recommend for a night or 2 stay before and after island hopping. Will definitely return.
Sorry forgot to take photo of room before we'd messed it up. View from 4th floor overlooking park.FromUS$37

Because I have to find a 2-bedroom parking lot, I chose here in Bigang. It is very convenient to drive on the island near the port. The so-called parking lot is that the roadside hotel at the entrance occupies a few parking spaces with a brand. It will be gone when I come back late. I will find a place to stop nearby. However, when booking, the parking fee is 10 euros per day and is not charged.FromUS$54

When we arrived the Bell boy came out immediately to take our cases from our taxi driver and took us to reception, where they were very helpful. Our check in time was 3.00 and we arrived at 12.00 so just expected to leave our luggage and venture out to explore pireaus. But they had our room ready which was great for us. So we were able to freshen up before we left. The room was very clean and bathroom was lovely with a massive shower. There were lovely soaps and body lotions in the bathroom and robes and slippers. We were only staying 1 night as we had a cruise from the port which was very close by. Amazing location for bars, coffee shops and restaurants and it also had a lovely rooftop bar which we did go to for a drink,
I would highly recommend this hotel, especially if you are going on a cruise or just spending a few days in pireausFromUS$107

Very near the center of Piraeus and its port. Knowledgeable and efficient staff, clean and more than adequately equipped room, big balcony with chairs and table, free parking, easy to find. At both sides of the double bed there are electricity outlets, a big wardrobe, a small refrigerator and good internet. The small size of the shower is not a problem, but it does not have glass doors, only a curtain.FromUS$39

The hotel owner is very enthusiastic and introduced us to the surrounding environment. It is very good. In the morning, there is a special bus to the pier for boating. It is very convenient for tourists who need to take a boat to Santorini in the morning.FromUS$88

This hotel is super close to the port. We got back from Santorini around 11 PM, and it was just a 5-minute walk to the hotel. The only downside is they don't offer complimentary bottled water; you have to buy it, but luckily we had our own. The room arrangement wasn't great either. We got a connecting room, which has a door between two rooms, essentially turning it into a large family suite. It felt a bit unsafe, and the soundproofing was terrible. It sounded like the people next door were also just staying for one night after a boat trip, and even though we arrived one after the other, we could hear their conversations clearly. 😒FromUS$96
