Just in from the western shore of the Bay of Zea, Piraeus’ Archaeological Museum has artefacts from Mycenaean times to the Roman period, retrieved from across the city and along the coastline of Attica.
Right beside the museum are the ruins of the Hellenistic Theatre of Zea, built in the 2nd century BC and excavated in the 1880s.
Back inside, the galleries dip into topics like the commercial and military port, domestic life in the Mycenaean and Hellenistic years, religious life, the development funerary carvings and painted art in the Roman period.
The marquee exhibition is in rooms three and four, where you’ll come face- to-face with bronze statues recovered from near Piraeus’ harbour in 1959. These are the Piraeus Athena and Piraeus Artemis, cast in the 4th century BC, and the much older, High Archaic Piraeus Apollo, from the 6th century BC.

This bay and natural harbour is the second largest of Piraeus’ three ports.
If you have time to spare, you could walk from one side of the harbour entrance to the other, under swaying palm fronds and with lots of interesting little things to look out for.
At the narrow entrance you can spot the remains of Piraeus ancient walls and the foundations of shipyards where Athens’ triremes ships would have been assembled.
Continue up towards the inner part of the harbour you can take in Piraeus’ modern cityscape and get an eyeful of the swanky yachts on the water.
In Ottoman times the Bay of Zea was where Athen's pashas would come to bathe with their harems, which is the origin of the name Pasalimanı.

As nautical museums go, this isn't one of the best, despite Greece’s long maritime history. Still, it does have all the requisite models of ancient and modern ships, seascapes by leading 19th- and 20th-century Greek painters, guns, flags and maps, and even part of a submarine.
