In 1992 I was fortunate to be stationed on a Naval ship and Piraeus was our liberty port. I hav to admit we spent ten wonderful days there. The scenery was one I would have only imagined in my deepest dreams. To walk along the cobbled streets so many have walked before me, to touch an old church that could only have been no less than a century old, the scent of the Mediteranean intermingling with the aromas of the orange trees lining the sidewalks all combined was a heady experience indeed. How truly remarkable every sight was, the quaint cafes where the locals sipped wine, the alley where artists sold their wares, even the friendly hat vendor at the pier contributed greatly to this visit. But by far, the ruins...to be so close to history so rich and so attainable is only something at the age of 20 I could only wish for. I vowed I will go back, but I do not think I ever would want to leave.

I spent my youth ston Piraia some time I didn't have money to get on the bus to go home but idin't matter.The 42 years unfortunately I've been living in Melbourne Australia a nice clean and green city but my heart is in Piraia.I used to walk from Piraia to Kastella around the coast to visit my uncle and forunately we visit Piraia often.Lots of love to Piraia and Piraiotes
