サロニカ諸島のおすすめライド

Under rated place. Great for hiking and cycling of course.

Methana. This was a hotel i was told that now is shut down.

I have no idea when the hotel closed. But it must have been a long time ago, and it must have had a glorious time. The lake in front of it is filled with sulfurous healing water and smells strongly of it.

The town of Methana is quite run-down and has nothing to offer, but the surrounding area, including the volcano, is beautiful. Unfortunately, you can only get there on foot, not by bike. Cycling on the peninsula is a sweaty experience. The climbs and descents are steep, enough to ruin your brakes. But a trip around it is definitely spectacular.

If you want to go from Piraeus to Poros and then to Methana, you can take the hydrofoil in 55 minutes. The regular fare is €36 or €42 for business class. Bicycles are free. The ferry to Methana takes 2 hours 50 minutes, costs €16, but only runs twice a day, leaving Piraeus late and leaving Methana early, so it's not a good option.

Nuce and quiet...

A small house by the sea, with the monastery of Faneromeni opposite and the pine forest just a breath away, was the refuge of Aggelos Sikelianos during the last and most difficult years of his life. The small building, which had been standing for years, was restored and handed over to the local authorities by the Ephorate of New Monuments of Attica in 2006, the same year that Anna Sikelianou passed away, whose wish was that relics from their common life there.
