Piraeus

Piraeus has been inhabited since at least the 26th century BC.

Piraeus is the only area in Attica, Greece that clearly falls into the hot semi-arid climate category.

Piraeus is the fifth most populous municipality in Greece with an official population of 168,151 in 2021.

The discovery of four bronze statues in 1959 is remembered as a momentous event in Modern Greek archaeology.

Piraeus ranks 7th in Europe and 1st in the Mediterranean in terms of TEUs transported through its port each year.
