A day cycling on the sea-side of Athens (Athens - GREECE)

Day was nice, a bit of a late start but we took the bikes and headed for the seaside of Athens.

Went by the old, now abandoned, airport of Athens with a few planes there rusting

continued cycling through some residential areas and reached one of the many marinas around

chilled out a little bit on the beach while a beautiful sunset was taking place

a few more people were there, some swimming others playing beach games

"love rescue" message was on one of the legs of the rescue tower

kept on cycling and found a platform far away, one person standing admiring the beauty

on the end of the platform we found a small sailing boat which had just sailed

and a few fishermen fishing under the warm sunset light...
 that was definitely a lovely day cycling by the sea-side of Athens :)
Location: Athens, Greece

Cycling to the top of mt. Hymettus (Athens - GREECE)

Image
Athens is situated in the basin of four mountain, Mount Aegaleo to the west, Mount Parnitha to the north, Mount Penteli to the northeast and Mount Hymettus to the east. Hymettus stands at around 1.000m high and its a nice, beautiful and easy bike ride to the top.  On the way we passed by Kaisariani Monastery which dates back from the Byzantine times, constructed around A.D.1100, now in its restored form.  Monastery grounds were full of curious cats :)  Around halfway to the top found these funny birds which were quite bored to fly (!) but were going around walking :D  Another monastery from the 11th century A.D. named "Monastery of Taxiarches Asterion" is found at 545 meters, more than halfway to the top, a nice place for rest.  Almost to the top and we could see the radio antennas.  The view of Athens from the top was really great, had some rest and then headed back down as the rain was on its way... :)
