Piraeus is the main port of Athens, sitting directly on the Saronic Gulf with a Mediterranean climate of hot, dry summers and rain concentrated in autumn and winter. Low-lying dockside areas can see localized flooding when intense autumn storms follow the long dry season. Hellenic National Meteorological Service, EMY, covers this Athens-area port district.
