Athens

I took the train from Kalambaka to Athens. This meant a 23 hour wait for a train on which bicycles were allowed as checked luggage.

After some sightseeing, I crossed to Salamina Island, hoping to reach Corinth to see the canal. The map said a ferry could take me back to the mainland, but the wind was too strong and it stopped operating. So I returned to Athens.

Just after opening, the Acropolis was still fairly empty and I managed to take a photo of the Parthenon without anyone in it
Here’s my photo of the Erechtheion without people

I had a rest day on the coast near Rafina. The water temperature was perfect for swimming.
