Getting to excursion from port

[melday]

We are looking at booking some excursions not on the cruise line. Unfortunately they do not pick up at port. What's the best way of getting to starting point?

Find one that picks up at port, or take a taxi to meeting point.

You don't mention which port/s, or where the pick-ups are.🤔

With that detail we've got more chance of  giving good advice

Yep...that would be sort of important info if the OP wants a solid, helpful answer...

The ferries to Capri leave from very very close to where your ship will dock.  It would be easier for you to do that solo, rather than to get to wherever your tour leaves from in Naples  as the tour will still need to go to to the ferry terminal close to your ship.

 

Once on Capri it is so easy to do your own thing that  a tour may not be needed ..

As to Piraeus to Athens, taxi or public transit would be the likely choice. I think there is a light rail line that runs from central Athens to the port.

 

Some research on the Italy board for the Capri question would be a good idea.

Yes, that would be the "Green Line" which is a commuter train/subway running from the Pireaus Train Station (about a mile from the port) into Athens.  Getting from the port to the train station can be done by walking (about 15 min for a fast walker) or crossing the street and catching the #843 bus (which stops in front of the station).   There is also an express bus line X80 that runs from in the port area into Athens.  The X80 only runs during the main cruise season and preferred by some folks since they do not need to be concerned about getting over to the train station.
