Piraeus has a vast history that dates back to ancient Greece. The city was founded in the early 5th century BC, when plans were put in place to make it the new port of Athens: A prototype harbor was built, concentrating all of Athens' import and transit trade, as well as the navy's base, in one location (Piraeus). The naval station in Piraeus had 372 trireme ship sheds during Athens' Classical period.[5] Beginning in the 3rd century B.C., Piraeus began to collapse. It began to expand again in the 19th century, once Athens was named the capital of Greece.
Between the Myrtoan Sea and the Argolic Gulf, Hydra is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea. A thin strait of water separates it from the Peloponnese. Hydrea (derived from the Greek word for "water") was the island's ancient name, referring to the island's natural springs.
The Greek town and municipality of Monemvasia is located in the Laconian province. The town is situated on a small island off the Peloponnese's east coast. A 200-meter causeway connects the island to the mainland. Its most conspicuous feature is a vast plateau rising 100 meters above sea level, up to 300 meters broad and 1 kilometer long, where a massive medieval stronghold once stood. Many Byzantine churches and medieval city walls have survived. The municipality's seat is currently located at Molaoi.
Pylos is a town and a former municipality in Messenia, Peloponnese, Greece. Pylos was formerly known as Navarino. It has been a part of the municipality Pylos-Nestoras, whose seat and a municipal unit it is, since the local government reform in 2011 It served as the old Pylia Province's capital.
Corfu Town is the capital of the Greek island of Corfu in the Ionian Sea. It is well known for its cobblestone streets and pastel-colored Venetian architecture. The New Fortress, erected by the Venetians, faces west and has views of the bay as well as an underground system of tunnels. The Old Fortress, built in the fourteenth century, has mosaics and a little chapel facing east. The Esplanade is the name of a lovely park along the river.
The tourist town of Saranda is located on the southern Albanian Riviera. The town is situated on a horseshoe-shaped harbor with beaches and a promenade on either side, sandwiched between hills covered with olive orchards and the Ionian Sea. The synagogue's remnants, which were eventually used to build an early Christian basilica, date to the fifth century. Still visible are intricate floor mosaics. On a mountaintop above the village stands the Lkursi Castle from the sixteenth century.
The Apulia area in southern Italy includes the coastal town of Otranto. It is the location of the 11th-century Otranto Cathedral, which features a rose window, and the Aragonese Castle, which dates to the fifteenth century. The harbor's Torre Matta tower offers panoramic views of the water. Popular Alimini Beach is one of the beaches close by. Two lakes are located inland: the spring-fed Alimini Piccolo and the saltwater Alimini Grande. The Punta Palasca lighthouse is in the south.
