November 1, 2023,Tour von Piräus nach Athen

The traffic in Piraeus and Athens takes a lot of getting used to. We were traveling with a cycling group of 12 people. That went surprisingly well

From the ferry port in Piraeus along the shore road at the marina past the Piraeus sign on a really long separate bike path to Athens to the sights to the "Field of Mars" park. The heavy rain then sends us unexpectedly and abruptly back to Piraeus
