One named option, no confirmed daily rate
We found no official single-day rate at the cruise terminals. One operator sold cruise packages, and its prices date from September 2026.
Multi-day packages for cruise travelers
- €35 for 3 days of parking
- €60 for 7 days of parking
- Works out to about €8.57/day on the 7-day package (our arithmetic, not posted)
- Read on polispark.gr in September 2026; no prices showed when we re-checked Oct 3, 2026
Nothing else we could confirm
- A cruise-booking help page mentions private lots on Akti Miaouli from €20 a day; it’s undated
- We couldn’t confirm any other operator by name, so we don’t list guesses
- Confirm directly with your cruise line or a local Athens travel resource
POLISPARK, Agios Nikolaos, in full
- 3 days: €35
- 7 days: €60
- No per-day rate published — only these package prices
- Named specifically for cruise travelers, per the operator's own page

If you're flying in rather than driving
Athens International Airport (ATH) connects to Piraeus by Metro Line 3 (about 60 minutes, €9) or the 24/7 X96 express bus to central Piraeus (about 90 minutes, €5.50, per OASA) — see the full guide's Getting Here section. For many travelers flying into Athens, this sidesteps the parking question entirely.
Who should pick what
| Traveler | Likely best fit | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Driving to Piraeus for a week-long cruise | POLISPARK's 7-day package | The one named cruise-specific option, about €8.57 a day at September 2026 prices. |
| Driving for a short (3-night) cruise | POLISPARK's 3-day package | Matches a shorter sailing without overpaying for unused days. |
| Flying into Athens | Metro Line 3 or the X96 bus | Sidesteps parking; both reach Piraeus, then it’s a short taxi to your gate. |
Staying the night before? None of the sixteen hotels we ranked sells cruise parking, so the car still goes to a lot like POLISPARK’s. What four of them charge for the night itself:
| Hotel | Overnight parking | Worth knowing |
|---|---|---|
| Savoy Piraeus | Free, on request, subject to space | The hotel calls the cruise docks walking distance. |
| Electra Palace Athens | €16 a day for a car | €20 for an SUV, €23 for a van, per the hotel. |
| Phidias Piraeus | €12 a night, valet | Per its hotel.info listing; its own site wouldn’t load. |
| Piraeus Theoxenia | Underground garage, charged | No price printed — ask when you book. |

Parking FAQ
Is there an official daily parking rate at Piraeus?
We didn't find one. The closest is POLISPARK's Agios Nikolaos lot, which sold multi-day packages for cruise travelers rather than a per-day rate: €35 for 3 days and €60 for 7 in September 2026. Its site showed no prices when we re-checked on October 3, so call +30 210 72 55 420 first.
What does that work out to per day?
About €8.57 a day on the 7-day package and about €11.67 on the 3-day one — but that's an inferred figure from a multi-day price, not a posted daily rate, so treat it as an estimate.
Should I book ahead, or just show up?
We found nothing either way, and no live availability. POLISPARK sells packages rather than drive-up days, so phone or book ahead.
Is parking near the right gate for my ship?
Worth checking — Terminal A uses Gate E11 and Terminals B and C use Gate E12, per MSC, and your line assigns the terminal, so confirm yours before you pick a lot.
