Near Athens is Piraeus the main commercial harbor of Athens.
Piraeus has also two faces. The modern Piraeus is a busy, contemporary harbor, the starting point for all cruises and major sea roots that connect the Greek islands with the mainland and the capital of Athens. The other aspect of Piraeus is the old picturesque Mikrolimano that lies graciously on the Piraeus coast. In Mikrolimano you can taste fresh sea food, enjoy the sea view and relax.
In the greater area around Athens, there are a lot more to explore and experience. The ancient Temple of Poseidon stands through the centuries on Cape Sounio, south from Athens, where you can walk among the ancient ruins and enjoy the most beautiful sunset in Attica.
On the way to Cape Sounio lies the cosmopolitan beach line of Athens. Enjoy the sea and sun at the beautiful beaches of Glyfada, Vouliagmeni and Varkiza that are located very close to the city and take a cooling and refreshing break from the intense Athenian way of life. During summer it all happens here: Water sports of any kind, beach sports, events, parties and an incredibly vibrant night life with hundreds of hot spots to choose from.
The Monument of Leonides The Delfi Oracle Aspect of Meteora
in Thermopylae
The Greek mainland is full of beautiful cities, unique landscapes and significant archeological sites such as Thermopylae, the historical passage where the brave Leonides and his 300 men fought the Persian king Xerxes and Delphi with the greatest oracle of ancient Greece, where the fates of kings and entire populations has been decided many centuries ago. Further in the north of Delphi we find Meteora, a magnificent complex of rock formations located near to the city of Kalampaka, 356 km northwest from the capital of Athens. Since the 14th century, 24 convents have been constructed on the top of these unique rocks. That is why Meteora is considered as a very important landmark of the Greek Orthodox Church.

The Greek islands are famous for their natural beauty and their unique blue sea. There are island complex formations such as the Northern Sporades, the Cyclades, the Dodecanese and the Eptanisa as well as larger islands like Crete, Chios, Limnos, Lesvos, Samos, Samothrace, and Thassos.

All the islands are accessible by sea with the modern ferries and catamarans. Frequent domestic flights are also an option, since most of the islands have airports connecting them with Athens or other capitals of the world with direct flights.
