Savoy is the one hotel here that says you can walk to the cruise ships. Its own page calls the cruise docks "walking distance", and our routing makes the Terminal A street point about 0.4 miles by road from Iroon Polytechniou — fine with a daypack, a taxi with suitcases.
It also sells an airport or port transfer on request, at extra charge, without printing the price. Parking is free on request while you stay, if there's space.
Breakfast is where it pulls ahead. The homepage says every room includes a full buffet breakfast, though the booking page still calls it à la carte. The ground-floor bar-restaurant covers dinner, and check-in is from 3 pm.
Book it if you like the idea of walking to the ship, then price the transfer before you count on it.
