G02 2 Mayıs 2023 SALI Gece güzel bir uyku uyuduk sabah 6 civarı Pire ye vardık . Zor uyandık .. Yalapşap yıkanıp terk için hazırlandık… Yaşımız gereği bizi yürüyen merdivenle indirdiler .Aslında bu kıyağı sadece binerken yapıyorlar ama bu kez beyaz saçlar ve malül bir çehre ve bakış bu yardımı sağlayıverdi. Hiç uğraşmadan bir taksi ye atlayıp 5 dakika sonra eve vasıl olduk .Sular ve elektrikler açıldı …storlar kaldırıldı…hoş geldin Paşa Limanı … Evi biraz toparladık …alışverişe gidildi ..burada çok kalmayacağız ama minimum bir malzeme gerekli … Öğlen vakti can dostumuz, Sklavenidis AVM sinde karnımızı doyurduk … Bu AVM nin 4 katı restoran olmakla beraber aslında Juriassic Parc ın esas alanıdır . Svitula sayesinde yaş ortalaması derhal 4 puan düştü ve 91 e geriledi … Öğleden sonra umumi ... read more

Geo: 37.9479, 23.6414 As we did the Acropolis the last time we visited Athens we had decided we would try and find something different to do this time round. The most appealing excursion was entitled Ancient Corinth and a Canal crossing. Stephen was really looking forward to seeing Corinth so we were expecting a pretty good day. Unfortunately had a few issues in leaving the room and nearly missed the excursion altogether as we arrived in the theatre for the usual morning bun fight in getting the tours all organised - were asked as we went in what tour were we on, then got told that's already been called handed our tour stickers and we were on our way. Oops! Not a massive group doing this tour and no kids...hooray! Had a nice sleep through the ... read more

After having breakfast at the hotel, I packed up and headed off for another look around the Port of Piraeus. Having had more sleep, I was a little more focussed on crossing roads in a safe manner….. that is truly a challenge here in Greece. While packing up, I watched the Greek morning show…. Wow, I have never seen a weather report quite like it….. very animated and energetic you could say. In this adventure, I found a lot of the shops hidden in narrow roads almost by mistake. I also took time to sit and watch the world from Greece’s oldest port. In an absolutely hectic and seemingly random city, the luxury yachts had a certain order about them. The hotel bus took me and some fellow cruisers to the ship, which I have to ... read more

We split up today. Kevin stayed Round Piraeus and I took a Hop on Hop Off bus tour of Athens. It was good to have a look around having last been in Athens in 1979. It was disappointing to see graffiti everywhere and the scaffolding around the Parthenon. So glad that I saw it all those years ago. I got off and had a walk around the markets. Bought some delicious pistachios and then went into the fish market. Pleased to note that it did not smell. Fresh produce everywhere. The displays by the vendors were interesting with the fish bent in the middle and displayed "like soldiers" as one of the vendors explained to me. Aftr a walk around the surroundings streets I got back on the bus and eventually the boat. Piraeus. Kevin headed ... read more
