4. Archaeological Museum of Piraeus

Reviewed By permia
It was absorbing moving around the splendid array of artefacts from antiquity. Funerary stelae and sculptures abound and reflect the reverence accorded to this seminal life event. Many stone reliefs are to be seen. A Greek pursuing a wounded Amazon who's bearing a shield is cogent, as are those of a Priest and Priestess in ritual attitude and the narrative of a Dispute between Apollo and Herakles. Herakles with a quadriga of chariot pulled by four horses is wonderful. That portraying three nymphs in motion is another highlight. The Piraeus Apollo in bronze is a prized sculpture and is the earliest known life-size depiction dating from around 525 BCE. It is accompanied with slightly later fine bronzes of Athena and Artemis.

Whenever I visited Athens, I would always stay down town. This time I thought I would do things differently and I am really glad I chose to stay at Pasalimani. It is a lot safer than central Athens, you can walk to all the aesthetically and historically significant places of Piraeus without ever feeling scared or threatened, there are plenty of amazing places to eat and drink just around the corner, you are just next to Piraeus central market and, most important you get to enjoy the marina view, the sea, the yachts, and if you feel like it, catch one of the many ships to Aegina, it;s only 40 minutes away!

10. Ieros Naos Agia Triada

Reviewed By HebaEssam - Athens, Greece
The amazing church is opposite to the Bank of Greece. While you are on the staircase of the church, you will find mighty Byzantine pillars that confronts the particular Corinthian and Doric ones in the façade of the bank .. This entourage embraces the history of Greece. Located very close from the port of Piraeus, the Metropolis holy church of Agia Triada survived the bombardment of 11 January 1944. It is beautifully constructed on the luxurious Byzantine fashion and it has very special icons of the saints (Katarina and Dimitris are my favourite), chandeliers and ceiling paintings. I highly recommend.
