    Molos means lake front where there is a variety of restaurants and sophisticated bars to choose from. I had enjoyed my first meal there and I kept going back again and again for more of that fresh trout and frog's legs that are delicious but they don't cost the earth! It's a must to visit any of the restaurants along the lake, freshness of ingredients and quality is guaranteed, plus there is a real buzz of Greek life at its best! I love going there in the summer afternoons when the city centre is quiet and all the Greeks go down molos for a long long lunch...

    A trip to Olympic facilities

    Posted by JoanRichards 16 October 2005

    After the huge success of the best Olympics that Greece organised last year, a trip around the legendary facilities where famous athletes broke records, it is a must when visiting Athens.

    Taking the metro and tram it's the best way to do it, probably allow half to one day for that and it is worth it, especially this amazing arcitecture and style!

    In various places in Athens, from Pireas to the north of Athens where the Olympic village is.
    A day ticket for metro and tram is essential and cheap.

    Perama Cave

    Posted by JoanRichards 15 October 2005

    The Perama Cave is at least 2 million years old!
    Greece’s largest cave in terms of area (14,800 square metres) and one of the largest in terms of total length of its passages (1,700 metres), the Perama Cave is well-known world-wide for its beauty and scientific value and the subject of a number of publications in international journals.

    The cave was first discovered by geologist Ioannis Petrohilos and hiw wife Anna in 1951 and explored by the couple through 1955.

    There are at least 14 different types of stalagmites and stalactites in curious shapes and sizes which can be admired by visitors on a guided tour along a 1 Km-long illuminated pathway. It's located a few minutes drive from the City centre.
