	Piraeus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Piraeus, or Peiraeus (Modern Greek: Πειραιάς Peiraiás or Pireás, Ancient Greek / Katharevousa: Πειραιεύς Pireéfs) is a city in the prefecture of Attica, Greece, located south of Athens.
		Piraeus remains a major shipping and industrial centre, and is the terminus for Line 1 (the "green line"), the electric train service now incorporated into the Athens Metro.
		In very early antiquity Piraeus was a rocky island (the settlement of Mounichia--the present Kastella) connected to the mainland by a low-lying stretch of land that was flooded with sea water most of the year and was used as a salt field whenever it dried up.

		Piraeus has three harbors: Great Harbor, where the bulk of Greece's maritime trade and the bulk of the Aegean ferry traffic arrives and departs; and Zea Marina and Mikrolimano, two smaller harbors where private yachts dock and a small amount of hydrofoil traffic takes passengers to the Saronic Islands.
		Swinging back to its former glory, Piraeus was again Greece's principal port at the beginning of the 20th century, but in 1923 had to deal with the influx of 100,000 immigrants from Turkey.
