Sept. 22, 2013 Pireaeus (Athens)

Today we arrived in Piraeus. We docked at the international terminal and took a shuttle bus to the main terminal to exit.

Today is a Sunday so a lot of places are closed so our plan is to take the Red Hop on Hop off bus to the center of Athens to find our friends at Argonaut Travel. We had brought some small gifts to give them. Marios and Jenny are the owners and they are so nice. We booked several trips with them in the last two years. They did an excellent job in planning our hotel stays.

After we visited Marios and Jenny we went next door to the Athens Gate Hotel where we stay when in Athens. The staff are like family to us since we have stayed there so often in the last three years.

We then took  a cab to  Kolonaki to go to the Cafe Peros where we had lunch in June.

We had a great lunch then went across the street to buy cookies to snack on on the ship.  It is ok to bring dry baked goods like cookies aboard.

We then got on the hop on hop off bus for the tour and transferred at the Acropolis Museum stop to get the bus for Piraeus.  

We had a coffee and dessert at the terminal cafe and went to the duty free shops to buy some things and then back to the ship.


Weather was really nice but it was a busy day!,
