The largest ferry port in the Mediterranean, Piraeus hosts over 20 million passengers a year, all passing through the busy port city that dominates the east coast. Piraeus is a city in its own right, yet few choose to spend over a day in the buzzing hub of shops, shipping offices and busy streets - those that do stay on the mainland tend to slide away into the allure of Athens’ city centre. The proximity to the capital, as well as the constant maritime traffic ensures that the city has enough to entertain tourists and the half a million local residents; the walk along the seafront promenade is a picturesque trail of flowers, trees and beautiful views – perfect for watching the ships sail along the crystal blue sea. Away from the port, Piraeus’ famous market attracts many visitors hoping to snag a bargain, before they move onto the shopping centres or embark on a sightseeing tour of the grand architecture. There are lesser known spots all over the bustling city, the most attractive being Zea Marina, a metropolis of restaurants, cafes and bars, typically adorned by workers and passengers who are winding down after a long day of travel.
Known for the array of volcanoes scattered across the town, Methana is comprised of entirely volcanic origins. Found on the Peloponnese peninsula in Greece, Methana offers ferry routes to other coastal resorts belonging to Greece, with crossings lasting from twenty minutes to just over two hours. Much like the majority of the coastal resorts residing in Greek territory, Methana has an abundance of beautiful beaches that are perfect for visitors hoping to relax in the sun. The azure blue waters next to the gorgeous beaches are postcard picture worthy, making sunbathing even more idyllic in the stunning surroundings. For those who like to live on the edge, many of the volcanoes can be visited if care is taken and guidelines are followed. The trek up to the tip of the volcano is relatively tough, but it makes the view from the top even more captivating. From the extremes of relaxing in the sun to exploring volcanoes, there is a middle ground; the hot springs found in the region are one of the most frequently visited attractions, with the unique nature proving to be too tempting an experience. After sampling the sights, the restaurants generally serve fresh seafood which is a popular choice for many visitors. The town of Methana is relatively small so most if it can be covered by foot, but for a more convenient journey then it could be best to travel via taxi, which are generally readily available throughout the town.
