Yes. Take the Green Line train from the Piraeus Metro Station to the Monastiraki Metro Station and you'll be on the edge of the Plaka which is at the base of the Acropolis.

We were on a Costa Cruise that ported in Piraeus for 6 hours, this past July and visited the Acrpoplis on our own. From the cruise dock, walk to the Piraeus Metro Station ( about 20 min walk ), take the metro to Monastiraki Metro Station ( 7th stop from Piraeus ) 1.40E each way. You'll be in the Plaka area, and can see the Acropolis on the hill, an easy 10 min walk to the ticket gates. We ended up with about 1.5 hours at the Acropolis before heading back down to the Plaka area for a snack, before heading back to Piraeus on the Metro.
