Mikrolimano sits on ancient Munichia, a base of Athens' trireme fleet — remains of the stone ship-sheds still lie beneath the water.
The Lion of the Harbour
For centuries a great marble lion guarded Piraeus, so famous the port was called Porto Leone. Norse mercenaries carved runes into its shoulders a thousand years ago; Venetians carried it off as plunder in 1687. The lion sits in Venice still — and Piraeus, locals say, has never stopped expecting it back.
