Stay Connected in Greece โ On Land and At Sea
When youโre on land in Greece, including the Port of Piraeus, stay connected with your Red Bull MOBILE eSIM.
Once your cruise ship sails beyond the 12 nautical mile limit, you are no longer connected to Greeceโs terrestrial mobile networks. At that point, you have to switch to a maritime package, data is available for โฌ15 per GB while at sea.
The Port of Piraeus is the chief sea port of Athens, located 8โ10 km southwest of Athens. It is Greece’s largest port and a major Mediterranean hub for both passengers and cargo.
Ferry services are available for passengers and connect to the Cyclades (Santorini, Mykonos, Paros), Dodecanese (Rhodes, Kos), Crete, Saronic Islands, and North Aegean islands. Allow at least 45 minutes to 1 hour for arrival before departure to navigate the crowds.
With an eSIM for travelers from Red Bull MOBILE, you can stay connected from the moment you arrive, making it easy to navigate the area, book tours, or share unforgettable moments online without relying on public Wi-Fi.
The port is located on the Saronic Gulf in the Aegean Sea, approximately 7โ12 kilometers (20โ30 minutes) southwest of central Athens, and approximately 45-60 minutes from Athens International Airport.
The cruise terminals (A, B, C) are located near the southern end of the port for cruise passengers. You will find major cruise lines such as NCL, Celebrity, and Royal Caribbean at this port.
Ferry Gates (E1-E12) are mainly used for island destinations, with Blue Star Ferries usually operating from gates E2-E9.
Free shuttle services operate within the port to connect gates and to the metro station.
Having mobile data with a Greek eSIM allows visitors to quickly order transportation, use maps, or communicate with tour operatorsโespecially helpful when ships dock at different terminals.
