Getting ashore

Ships dock at the main pier. The walk into town is short or needs a short taxi. Check your berth. Taxis queue at the exit.

Watch-outs

Confirm the exact pier. The walk may be in the sun. Do not leave valuables. Traffic can be busy near the port.

Getting into town

From the pier, walk or take a short taxi into the centre. The streets are mostly flat. Public transport may be available.

Taxis & ride apps

Taxis queue at the pier. Ride apps may be limited. Use the official queue. Agree the fare if not posted.

What to do nearby

The centre has shops and sights a short walk away. Keep the loop reasonable. Some areas have steps or cobbles.

Going further

Further sights need a taxi. The drive can take time. Book a return carefully.

Food & shopping

Local places serve food and shops are nearby. Prices are about standard tourist levels.

Opening times & connectivity

Shops open mid-morning. Mobile coverage is good. Some cafés have Wi-Fi. Use the currency link.

Accessibility & mobility

Ask the ship about the gangway at your terminal. The port shuttle, where it runs, is inside the cruise port. It is not a step-free ride to the Acropolis, which is a hill. Book an accessible taxi if you need one, and do not assume the nearest metro station has a working lift.
