After a long uneventful night, our ferry arrived at Piraeus harbour just short of 10 am.It rained over night but the sky was starting to clear and the rain was more an occasional drizzle. The ferry left us at a different port this time, about the farthest port from the metro station, so we took one of the port busses to the metro station. There are two Metro lines now in Piraeus, the old M1 to Athens and the new M3 which continues on to the airport.
We were early to check in so we sat a bit in the Piraeus station then caught an M1 subway before our tickets expired. Six stops later we stepped off at the Thiseio station, next to the park and a few blocks from our rented apartment. We were early for checkin so we enjoyed a delicious lunch at a sidewalk cafe before heading for the apartment. The apartment is up two long flights of marble stairs or via elevator. A sign on the elevator warns against loading with two or more people so we take the stairs.
