Symi is a small island of the Dodecanese group, north of Rhodes in Greece. In recent years Symi has become a haven for tourists from abroad.
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.
