| Map of Attica with Piraeus |
|  | Actually, Piraeus is the western part of the Athens coastal zone.
The Saronic Gulf and its islands of Salamis (5 minutes) and Aegina (1hr) with Hydra, Poros and Spetses (5hrs) close behind are visible from the heights of the Acropolis.
Salamis, the very closest island to Athens is historically important because in ancient times, the Athenian navy, under Themistokles, defeated the Persian, under Xerxes, in the worlds first recorded naval encounter.
You may watch my 37-pics high resolution SLIDE-Show Piraeus and Saronic Gulf from my WebShot page. |

Hi, Sergey! Thanks for your nice page about that destination.... | Trekki Tue May 20, 2008 08:09 UTC
Ah finally I can continue and follow your trip to Greece :-)) As usual, I really like your videos and the music is very much inspiring :-)) Oh well, the ancient legends of ships - I don't know if it could have sailed. | JLBG Mon Mar 24, 2008 05:07 UTC
Accurately documented tips as ever, Sergey! I wonder what is the relationship between the chemical named methane and the city! Haha, still feeling that history is a fake! I do not forget that I have to write you on the subject! | deecat Tue Mar 18, 2008 20:19 UTC
Just excellent! You are really hard on yourself about the taxi incident. How could you know? It makes for an exciting adventure and read. Beautiful photos in tips and travelogues. Great information too. |
