Piräus
Piraeus is an important port city in Greece, located southwest of Athens on the Saronic Gulf. As one of the largest ports in the Mediterranean, Piraeus is the most important hub for shipping traffic between Greece and the Aegean islands and other international destinations. One of the city's most famous attractions is the Piraeus Archaeological Museum, which exhibits valuable finds from the region, including statues, ceramics and other ancient artifacts. The harbor promenade of Zea Marina and the marina of Mikrolimano offer a charming atmosphere with numerous cafés and fish restaurants serving local cuisine. The Castella district, a historic neighborhood on a hill, offers breathtaking views of the harbor and the surrounding area.
The ferry port of Piraeus in Greece offers connections to 50 Greek islands as well as to the ports of Kavala, Porto Heli, Thessaloniki, Agistri Myli, Ermioni, Souvala and Methana on the Greek mainland.

Syros
The name of the island originally means something like "rocky" - and that aptly describes what awaits you on Syros. In addition to the rugged natural formations, the island is home to the administrative center of the Cyclades. Accordingly, it is busy here all year round. Here you will especially meet Greeks from the mainland; international tourists are rather less to be found here. The cultural side is not neglected here either, and churches, a theater and a library are among the most important places on the island. If you are looking for beautiful beaches, you will find them on the southern and western side.
The ferry port on the island of Syros offers connections to the other Greek islands of Andros, Donoussa, Tinos, Folegandros, Amorgos, Mykonos, Lesbos, Samos, Kimolos, Kalymnos, Kos, Thira, Thirasia, Paros, Ios, Ikaria, Serifos, Kythnos, Milos, Chios, Rhodes, Fournoi, Crete, Patmos, Oinousses, Schinoussa, Astypalea, Naxos, Sikinos, Koufonissi, Symi, Kea, Iraklia, Leros, Sifnos, Euboea, Limnos and Anafi as well as to the ports of Thessaloniki, Kavala, Piraeus and Lavrio on the Greek mainland.
