... the terminal and started to walk into the town but met people coming the other way who told us not to bother as there was nothing open except a couple of cafes. We turned around and in the terminal building there was a duty free shop so we bought some ouzo (as you do in Greece) and some beer and came back to the ship. Went to our usual deck 14 Oasis bar, caught up with Pam and Bob, Had a couple of drinks, went to Horizon Court for dinner and had an ...
Piraeus, Attica, Greece stephgraemePiraeus is the port for Athens and after breakfast we caught the coach into the city passing quite a few of the recent Olympic stadiums on the way. We weren't doing a tour but we stopped at the Panathenaic Stadium, the original Olympic Stadium, to take pictures and were also driven past some of the other sights. We noticed that there was a sightseeing bus so decided to make use of that. Our first stop was the Acopolis which is the ...
Piraeus, Attica, Greece susanelGreece August 3-6, 2008 August 3, 2008 Upon arriving in Greece we had a tour of Athens and the Acropolis. The Acropolis is one of the world's oldest cities that dates back over three thousand years. The most exciting site of the Acropolis was the temple of Athena, better known as the Parthenon. After the tour of the Acropolis we had a short guided bus tour of the city. Before the bus headed ...
Piraeus, Attica, Greece kellyandjess... pat, Bobby and I) set out today but split ways as I went to the Isthmos-Corinth canal to attempt a bungy jump and they went to Aegena Island to relax. They wound up spending their time at a café so I didn't feel too bad about missing out on an island paradise, but my day wasn't much better. You'd think that a business that charges over $100 USD for their attraction would take a credit card! Unfortunately, when I arrived there I realized they didn't take Visa ...
Piraeus, Greece conman... to Athens. When we got in we caught the train into town and found where we are staying. Today (it is 3pm at the moment, 10pm in Melbourne), we have been walking around Athens looking at all the old stuff. Like the Parthenon Tomorrow we might go to their museum and sort out which island to go to first on Sunday.
Athens, Attica, Greece shaunandlisa... which we were taken to a pedestrian-only shopping area. As this is being written, we're leaving the harbor and headed for our next stop, Corfu. Note: we haven't yet added stories/captions to the photos in today's gallery...but they're worth looking at anyway! D & J
Piraeus, Attica, Greece dtopping1 Nov - Our last full day in Greece. The plan today is to visit Delphi, then make our way back towards Athens to stay somewhere pleasant that will also be an easy drive to the airport tomorrow morning (preferably somewhere so we can avoid Athens traffic - and potential traffic jams!! tomorrow as well). The drive to Dephi is very pleasant (apart from a minor detour when we lost the road signs) and very scenic. For the most part we follow the northern coast of the Gulf of Corinth - there ...
Athens, Greece tandc2007... Hill. It has the best views of Athens from the top! I walked there, and on my walk I had to climb probably 200 steps, at least, and it is very hot out here, but I made it. I took the tram to the top and was able to see for miles! I could even see the coastline! I took lots of pictures of the views. The sunset was amazing from up there looking over the mountains. Now I am back at the hotel getting ready for bed, because I have to get up at 5:45 to catch my ferry to Mykonos in the morning!

Athens, Greece msu... the ancient eruption caused massive tidal waves which were what was thought to have led to the fall of the Minoan civilization...). We had 2 days in Santorini. Wandering the streets of Fira and Oia, watching Oia's famous sunsets falling into the ocean framed by old windmills. We had a day trip to a central island ýn the caldera, where most of the fumaroles and volcanic activity is now centered. It was an eery place to walk atop lava fields and sulfurous fumes, but was also an ...
