Send Flowers to Piraeus, Greece

Piraeus is the port of Athens, the busiest in Greece, and a city with its own proud identity. The main harbour sends ferries to the Aegean islands and Crete at all hours, and the streets behind Akti Miaouli hold the offices of Greek shipping companies. On the other side of the hill, the round bay of Pasalimani and the little harbour of Mikrolimano are lined with yachts and fish restaurants, and Kastella climbs between them with some of the best views in Attica.

Flowers here go to apartment blocks, to shipping and insurance offices, to the University of Piraeus, and to families welcoming a seafarer home. Maritime families are spread around the world, so orders from abroad are routine. Saint Nicholas, protector of sailors, is honoured on 6 December, a big name day in a port town.

To send flowers to Piraeus, order before midnight Greek time for delivery the next day, Monday to Saturday. Sundays and main public holidays are excluded.
