Athens Marina Zeas (Pasalimani)

Location: Piraeus

Also known as Pasalimani, the small natural port of Marina Zeas is located near the main ferry port of Piraeus and 10 km away from Athens city center.

Marina Zeas was named after an ancient type of grain that used to be cultivated in this area during ancient times. The port itself has a long history that dates back to antiquity. It used to be the biggest military port of the state of Athens, but now that the large commercial and passenger port of Piraeus exists, Pasalimani is considered the 2nd largest port in Piraeus.
