Finding prayer facilities at the Hellenic Maritime Museum will not be possible. Muslim visitors will however be able to locate a mosque in the city, namely Masjid al-Andalus. Muslims visiting the museum can therefore ask staff to guide them to this mosque when needed, or they will have to return to their accommodation at prayer times.
The Hellenic Maritime Museum is not known to house a café. Those visiting the museum will however be able to locate a variety of great restaurants in the surrounding area. Since the city is known for its seafood, Muslim tourists will not find it difficult at all to find a seafood restaurant in Piraeus.
