BEFORE YOU GO
A well-planned trip.
Getting around
Perama is connected to Piraeus and Athens by city buses, but journey times can be affected by traffic, especially during rush hour. To reach the center of Athens, you can continue from Piraeus by metro or other public transport. Taxis and rental cars are useful for evening travel or for reaching less-served areas, although parking can be tricky. Ferries to Salamis depart from the port of Perama: check schedules and boarding procedures before you set off.
When to go
Spring and early autumn offer pleasant temperatures for strolling along the seafront and exploring the surrounding area. Summer is hot and lively, but it can be crowded and requires sun protection; it is also a convenient time for a trip to Salamis. In winter, the climate is generally mild, although there may be rainy days and less frequent connections.
Where to eat
Perama is a port town: in taverns and neighborhood eateries you’ll often find fish, seafood, and Greek dishes. For a casual meal, look for places along the harbor and on nearby streets, checking opening hours and availability, which can vary by season. If you want more choice, Piraeus and Athens are easy to reach by public transport.
