Perama, a charming coastal town and a suburb of Piraeus, offers a tranquil escape near Athens. Nestled on the southwest edge of the Aegaleo mountains, Perama overlooks the Saronic Gulf coast. Just 8 kilometers northwest of Piraeus and 14 kilometers west of Athens, Perama is a great place to experience a more relaxed atmosphere. As the western terminus of the Port of Piraeus, Perama also boasts a passenger port with ferry services to Salamis Island.

Perama's main attraction is the Perama Cave, one of Greece's largest and most impressive caves. Explore 1100 meters of stunning fairy-tale passageways adorned with stalactites, stalagmites, and other rock formations. For a historical touch, visit the Bay of Zea (Paşalimanı), the second-largest of Piraeus' three ports. Discover ancient walls, shipyard foundations, and a modern cityscape. The area's Ottoman history is reflected in its name, Paşalimanı, which translates to "bathing place of the Pashas" due to its past use by Ottoman officials.

While Perama itself doesn't have a bustling nightlife scene, nearby Athens offers a vibrant selection of bars, clubs, and entertainment. For shopping, explore local shops for unique finds, or visit Optoline-Shop, a cozy boutique for eyewear and accessories, or The Bulldog Barbershop, a trendy spot for grooming and style.
