The port city of Piraeus can be found in the Attica region of Greece along the east coast of the Saronic Gulf about 12 km south west of Athens, the Greek capital. Piraeus is the largest ferry port in Europe and one of the largest in the world when it comes to passenger transportation with services provided by every major ferry company in Greece. Approximately 20 million passengers pass through its doors each year and the port provides the main link between the Greek mainland and the Aegean islands and Crete. Piraeus proves the gateway from the Greek mainland to all of the main holiday destinations in Greece and some of the less popular ones too. Piraeus is also famous for its football team – Olympiakos who regularly feature in the UEFA Champions League.
Known for the array of volcanoes scattered across the town, Methana is comprised of entirely volcanic origins. Found on the Peloponnese peninsula in Greece, Methana offers ferry routes to other coastal resorts belonging to Greece, with crossings lasting from twenty minutes to just over two hours. Much like the majority of the coastal resorts residing in Greek territory, Methana has an abundance of beautiful beaches that are perfect for visitors hoping to relax in the sun. The azure blue waters next to the gorgeous beaches are postcard picture worthy, making sunbathing even more idyllic in the stunning surroundings. For those who like to live on the edge, many of the volcanoes can be visited if care is taken and guidelines are followed. The trek up to the tip of the volcano is relatively tough, but it makes the view from the top even more captivating. From the extremes of relaxing in the sun to exploring volcanoes, there is a middle ground; the hot springs found in the region are one of the most frequently visited attractions, with the unique nature proving to be too tempting an experience. After sampling the sights, the restaurants generally serve fresh seafood which is a popular choice for many visitors. The town of Methana is relatively small so most if it can be covered by foot, but for a more convenient journey then it could be best to travel via taxi, which are generally readily available throughout the town.
