Sunday (day 4) Independence Day ! Trip to Piraeus

Sunday 25 March : National Holiday - Independence Day !

After a late breakfast at 9am we bought a day ticket for 4,5 € and took the metro from Monastiraki to Piraeus.

Agia Triada (Holy Trinity Church)

Waiting for the Ceremonies

Side entrance of Agia Triada

Agios Nikolaos

From Agios Nikolaos walk -> Charilaou Trikoupi straat to Passalimani bay

We found our bus 51 which should take us around the peninsula but it took us back to the Port terminal first .

Photos taken from the bus (forgive the poor quality)

Back to Passalimani where we waited in vain for the Trolleybus to Kastela

We walked to the smaller bay Microlimano.

After having a drink from a very high terrace with beautiful sight over the bay, we walked via the Akti Dilaveri street (along the river) to the tramstation.

We took the tram (line 3) to "Voula"(southern suburb of Athens) why runs along the coastal zone, and from there we returned on line 2 to "Syntagma"

We had a last glance of the guards in their "holiday"outfits.

We then took the metro back to Monastiraki

We decided we still had time to go up to the Lycabette Hill (Lofos Lykavittou) and the (church) Agios Georgios

We walked to Kolonaki and further to climb (69 steps) to the Teleferik who would take us to the top of the hill.
