The Port Square is a 4-star by its own count, and as straight as Mitsis about distance. It lists Gate E7 at 100 m and the cruise terminals at 3 km; our routing makes the Terminal A street point about 1.4 miles by road.
What it does well is the stuff around the morning. There's a free luggage room, a taxi rank at the door and a Friends & Family room for four in 40 m².
Its transfer service is "at extra cost" with no destination named, so it scores nothing for the ship. There's no parking either, just a drop-off space.
Book it if you're coming in on the metro, and take a cab from the rank outside on sail morning.
Book it if
- You need somewhere free to leave bags on sail day
- Four of you want one Friends & Family room
- You're arriving on the metro
Look elsewhere if
- You're driving — there's no parking.
- You want a transfer you can price.
- You expected to walk to the cruise ship.
Your night before, from here
From check-in to the gangway, using only what Port Square publishes.
BACARO, an all-day Mediterranean bar-restaurant on the ground floor.
A transfer service is offered "at extra cost", but the hotel doesn't say to where. There's a taxi rank in front of the hotel.
Breakfast runs 6:30 to 10 am; the hotel doesn't say whether it's included.
The hotel lists Gate E7 at 100 m, a ferry gate, and "Cruise Terminals A, B, C: 3km" (about 1.9 miles). Our routing gives about 1.4 miles (2.3 km) by road to the Terminal A street point — a spot on Akti Miaouli, not the terminal door, so the hotel's longer figure may be the truer one. With bags it’s a short taxi; tell the driver E11 for A or E12 for B and C.
