★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Everything is in Greek, but still quite interesting. Recommended if you have 15-30 spare minutes before your ferry.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My personal favourite museum. It is free, very beautiful and cozy, located in an excellent spot, and maintained by the pensioners of OASA. Also it has the pest postcards and pins you can get for souvenir. It has english captions. A must for families, train lovers and not only.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A small museum about the history of the line 1 of the Athens metro. The museum is located in Piraeus station. All the exhibitions are preserved by ex staff of the electric railway company and the entrance is free of charge. The staff is very friendly. Photos are not allowed but you will be able to buy books and other souvenirs.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Entrance to this enchanting little museum is hidden inside the main Piraeus train station. The museum is privately owned but charges no entrance fee. It is run by enthusiast and ex-employes of the electric railway company.
It is a shame that the museum forbids photographs as I think they might help tempt people to take a look.
I found the museum fascinating, and despite being small, you can easily spend a an hour or two there.
The museum charts the development of the Athens Piraeus public transport system from horse drawn tram through to the electric train. There are over 6000 exhibits, everything from tickets, to switch gear, signalling equipment, rail laying and cutting equipment, photographs and models. There is even a loving restored wooden carriage. One of the best little museums I have stumbled upon!

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Everyone who is asking if the museum is open the answer is yes and is opening also Sunday.
The guy who is there can guide you through the time and he have so many things to say about the trains in Greece and how they found all the parts. Enjoy!
