Can you rent a car in Piraeus?
Yes, several agencies meet passengers directly at the ferry gates (E1 to E12), so there is no need to arrange transport into central Athens first.

Tips for the Agios Kirykos to Piraeus ferry
- In high summer, the ferry's snack bar and cafeteria can sell out of cold drinks by mid-crossing on busy routes; buy your drinks early after boarding.
- Snacks in your bag reduce dependency on the onboard cafeteria and save money – nuts, crackers, fruit, and chocolate travel well.
- The final hour of an overnight crossing – watching the sun rise over a Greek island as the vessel enters harbour – is worth every disrupted night's sleep.
- If you are leaving luggage unattended on a ferry, remove all valuable items and do not leave your bag in an isolated or unsupervised area.
- Ferries from Piraeus depart from the main port of Athens, giving easy access to the Acropolis, the world-class Acropolis Museum, and the ancient Agora. The historic Plaka neighbourhood at the foot of the Acropolis hill, with its neoclassical lanes, Roman ruins, and traditional tavernas, is the most atmospheric place to spend time before or after your crossing.
