""Pirée" in Athens' port Piraeus is an interesting cafe/bar with a beautiful live art space. I recommend visiting before heading off to an island!"

Very close to the port of Piraeus a new and very interesting spot has opened. Pirée means Piraeus and has multiple characteristics. You can enjoy your coffee or drink in a live art space with artistic creation and liberation.

Pirée gives young artists the opportunity to express their art, to liberate and experiment on the arts. You will feel all that creative energy as you visit it. The great thing of the combination of these two sites is that one is incorporated inside the other. The coffee bar is not separated from the gallery but instead there is an interaction and communication between them. This means that while you enjoy your drink or eat something there is a chance that a mini performance or show starts right next to you. This experience is excellent, I assure you.

I visit Pirée usually early in the afternoon as there are not a lot of people and I can enjoy my coffee as I observe the artworks. Next time you visit Athens, or before you go to the islands, give Pirée a chance to surprise you.
