PIRAEUS
A renowned and particularly popular port, connected
cinematographically with tragical loves, infamous
neighbourhoods (Troumpa), with the dollars that disembarked
along with the American fleet, and Olympiakos, the team
that offers thrills in the locals. The largest, in terms of
passenger traffic, port in Europe is an important industrial
and commercial center for Greece. It connects by ship
the capital with the country’s islands and is a vital
destination for cruise ships inside and outside the
Mediterranean. The city, at least 10 kilometers away
from the center of Athens, can boast many urban
diamonds: the historical mansions that co-exist
harmoniously with contemporary architecture,
the wide view offered by the Hill of Castella
from some bistro or restaurant, the sunset at
Prophitis Elias that brings out your romantic
nature, the return to another time through
the alleys in traditional neighborhoods.
Among the innumerable advantages,
we can cite the full market, the Sunday
bazaars, Mikrolimano and Pasalimani,
and the sea aura that enchants you.
