Piraeus–Patras railway Piraeus–Patras railway The railway from Piraeus to Patras was a 230-kilometre long metre gauge railway line in Greece, that connected the port of Piraeus with Patras in the Peloponnese peninsula, via Athens and Corinth. It was opened between 1884 and 1887. Formerly one of the main lines of the Greek railway network, it has now largely fallen into disuse.
