The Piraeus Prefecture is the administrative unit of the Attica region that groups the municipalities around the port of Piraeus. Inside it lie Nikaia, Keratsini and Korydallos, densely built residential towns that run into one another on the western side of the Athens basin.
Foreign residents and owners here most often need help to buy, rent or share a home, which falls under Property Law, or to settle the estate of a relative who left property in Greece. Residence permits, company paperwork and court claims are handled for the whole prefecture by English-speaking lawyers.
