About Piraeus
Piraeus is surrounded by sea and the rhythm of its life is affected by it. In ancient times it was an island and travelers traveled from the hinterland (the verb was: it was being transported). From there, rather, he received his name. The urbanization of the city was carried out by the architect Hippodamos, in the middle of the 5th century. B.C. Hippodamos’ plans were used as guidelines for the city’s reconstruction in 1834.
The Themistocles was the first to realize the importance of the city of Athens and made them the main port, replacing the Gulf of Faliro, which was used by the Athenians until the 5th century. B.C. Desiring the existence of a fortified harbor for the city of Athens, from 493 to 479 BC. built the Piraeus wall. Later, Pericles completed the fortification, building the Long Walls, which protected both sides of the road, all the way from Piraeus to Athens. In the Middle Ages, Piraeus was known as Porto Leone, a name given by a huge lion of stone, guarding the entrance of the harbor. Today, it is the main port of Athens, the largest in Greece and one of the most important in the Mediterranean, an important shipping, industrial and transport center in the country. Life in the city focuses on its three ports: the central, Marina Zea and the Mikrolimano.
