What it's like

Mikrolimano is a small harbor in Piraeus, the port district of Athens. It is known for fishing boats, small craft and luxury yachts tied up together, and for the seafood tavernas that line its edge.

A visit is mostly about lunch. Pick a taverna with a table by the water, order the fish, and watch the boats. The Panorama restaurant sits in a 1930s building with a large terrace over the bay. Kastella hill rises just behind, a short climb with views over the main port and Zea.

Good to know

  • The Panorama restaurant sits in a 1930s building with a large terrace over Mikrolimano Bay.
