Hospital Ship Britannic:Aftermath The wounded survivors were first moved on the sick bay of the flagship of the British Adriatic Squadron, the HMS Duncan, and then sent to the Russian Hospital at Pireaus. The crew members and the RAMC orderlies were moved on various British and French ships of the Allied Fleet, while the nurses and the medical officers were ferried to the port of Pireaus where it was arranged to be accomodated in two seperate hotels at Phaleron (the Aktaion and the Phalere). When the survivors arrived at Pireaus the hotel was closed for the winter but the owners were Venizelists (sympathisers of resigned Prime Minister Venizelos who was supporting the Allies) and they offered some rooms. www.hospitalshipbritannic.com /aftermath.htm   (1178 words)

Athens 21st Century - The Olympic Coastal Complex After the OAKA, the coast of Athens is the area with the largest number of sports facilities. This is where the most important Olympic facilities are situated, like the Karaiskaki stadium and the so-called SEF close to the Pireaus, the Faliro and the Ellenikò. Situated between the Olympic area of Pireaus and the Olympic centre of Ellenikò, this centre is the second most important after the OAKA. www.athens-today.com /e-olimpica_faliro.htm   (361 words)

A Carefree Journey Through Athens Port of Pireaus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05) Most travelers to Greece are exposed to Athens port of Pireaus only as long as it takes to get from the metro to the ferry boats, anywhere between 5 minutes and twenty minutes depending on how long it takes to cross the street. This whole tour seemed pointless so I decided to go back to the boats and go to Aegina, but when I got there the boats had just left and my only choice was to go to Salamina in an hour. Few city skylines are dominated by a single building the way this dominates Pireaus and while one might think that it symbolizes prosperity and the economic future of the city, in truth the symbolism goes much deeper and is a little sadder. www.athensguide.com /pireaus.html   (1388 words)

Greek Island Hopping. Travel to Greece You would not want to swim or wade in it since the percent of water versus other substances is a little low, but at one time it was a real river that emptied into the Faliron Delta where the big Olympic indoor stadium is now. But before you know it we are once again passing between the tankers and freighters and into the harbor of Pireaus where dusk is setting and the big ferries to Crete, and Lesvos are getting ready to sail. Returning to Pireaus I prefer to have a taxi waiting for me. Usually I am beat or I don't want to deal with the chaos, and $30 for a transfer from my pal George Kokkotos the Famous Taxi driver is a small fee to pay to avoid it. www.magicaljourneys.com /Islands/island-hopping.html   (3253 words)

Last check: 2007-11-05) There are ticket agencies in Pireaus when you get to the boats in the big old buildings at Platia Kariaskaki by the bus station (sort of across from the metro).
