Staying
in
Athens? Explored
all the sights and still have some holiday time
on your hands? Then why not take advantage of
a day or two in
Patras?
Primarily known for its busy port and ferry departures
to
Italy, not
to mention the fantastic carnival held annually
to kick off the Lenten season,
Patras
and the surrounding area offer a wealth of things
to do and see.
There is a sprawling metropolis by the sea with
a wonderful old section. Neoclassical buildings,
cathedrals, museums, shops, bars, cafes and vibrant
nightlife make this area a treasure waiting to
be found. Within easy reach are mountains, lakes,
caves, and villages, all with magnificent natural
scenery.
Patras is easy
to reach from
Athens
by private or rental car, and by train or public
bus. In fact, bus departures are very frequent
throughout the day, and the trip takes only two
and one-half hours, along a very scenic route.
