Morning/Afternoon
From Athens, take the metro to Piraeus, then walk to the Archaeological Museum (see Archaeological Museum of Piraeus) and check out some of the ancient local finds.
Continue to Pasalimani and stop for a coffee at Café Freddo overlooking the water. Take the time for a stroll around the harbour to admire the top-notch boats.
For a relaxed, indulgent lunch call at Achinos , offering fantastic sea views; otherwise walk the seafront promenade of Akti Themistokleous for a reasonably priced informal feast of fresh fish at Margaro (see Margaro).
Evening
Take the metro to Neo Faliro, then negotiate a busy main road past the Peace and Friendship Stadium, one of Piraeus’s beachside venues that was used for the 2004 Olympic Games.
Continue south from the stadium to arrive at the pretty fishing harbour of Mikrolimano – less glitzy and more picturesque than the more central bays.
Here you’ll find a string of waterside seafood restaurants, the best-known of which is Jimmy and the Fish .
After dinner, either escape for a romantic nightcap on the pleasant Don Kihotis roof terrace (see Don Kihotis), or join the swelling crowds at Neon ), one of the café-bars with brash music and open-air seating on Akti Dilaveri.
