Port Transfers
Elite Tours provides private transportation to and from the following ports: Piraeus, Lavrion, Rafina and Agios Konstantinos.
Arriving from a Greek island at Piraeus port and have a late flight departure? We will pick you up from the port, tour the best sites in Athens, and drop you off at the airport. When you disembark from your ship, we will be waiting for you holding a sign with your name on it.
To visit to go to one of the scenic Sporades islands (Skiathos, Skopelos, or Alonissos), you need to catch the ferry from Agios Konstantinos. We will drive you from the Athens airport, your hotel, or any of the ports.

Port of Piraeus
Greek shipbuilding is renowned throughout the world and the port of Piraeus is the largest port of Greece and one of the largest in the Mediterranean Sea and Europe. Many shipping companies are headquartered at the port.
Piraeus is also known for its historical sites:
- The municipal theater of Piraeus
- The Piraeus Lion
- The tomb of general Themistocles
The large new port is named after the aforementioned ancient Greek general to honor his victorious naval battle against the Persians near the island of Salamina in 479 BC. Along the adjacent Piraiki coastline is a wall that has a length of 2.5 kilometers (the original wall was 13 kilometers which was created by Konon in 394BC.) The wall had 52 towers of which only 22 survive today.
