Touring Athens and Piraeus Greece

I am spending two weeks in Greece part on a motor sailer and part just driving around.

Today I levave for the sailing craft and the Islands. Yesterday I did the Acropolis and several marinas near the port of Piraeus. During my adventures there was an attack by birds at a cafe, an encounter with pirates and a near miss on the street as a local motorist hit a fellow on a motorcycle that came flying towards me on the sidewalk but missed. Crossing the streets here is dangerous but I always thougth that I would be safe on the sidewalk. No more! Fortunately the cyclist was able to right his cycle and walk off the road upset but unhurt.
