Very kind agency - Filippis Tour and other Piraeus, Greece Transportation Tips

'Mode': AROUND
Category: Ship/Boat
Getting TO/AROUND: All Piraeus area is filled of Travel Agency and I am sure they are all the same about the costs and the kindness of the workers. But I feel to mention here Filippis Tour as they gave me a real priceless service keeping my luggages in their office while i was waiting for my ferryboat. I had some spare hours and it have been a real relief to wonder around without carrying so much stuff.
They speack Greek, English and Italian.
I apologise if all the other agencies offer the same service, it was my first time in Piraeus so i can't know, feel free to tell me about, I will remove this tip.

Getting TO/AROUND: The cheaper and easyer way to travel from Athens International Airport to Pireaus Port is bus X96. You can find the buses waiting right out the arrival area your right side. You need to buy the ticket before getting up to the bus at the kiosk that is there on the walkway near the bus stop. In August 2008 it cost me about 3 euros each.
In August the trip took me about one hours and half but you can expect this time to increase in different months because the famous Athens' traffic jam.
I found the bus better than the Metro services because I had less stair to walk and there was room for the luggage. It is also cheaper.
