Ride to Sounio reloaded
After the extraordinary response to my previous post escorted by a huge demand from my larger than life fan base I feel obliged to add some more pictures from that ride. It's also a way to show off how many swimming bays & beaches can be found in such a small stretch of land like Athens's riviera.

Ready? Let's go:

This small [peninsula](https://goo.gl/maps/bvJ8GnrSejfQ2CbL7) only a few kms South East of the center of Athens is an absolute gem hence real estate there is untouchable. This is the first beach one can enjoy coming from the center:

![DSC_0004.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/2466eK16xkke7Cjpf343pYca9mZrGkgzuRtrWYbFUofafC546vS6F5yHwNux1ZHCTrrd5.JPG)

![DSC_0005.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/23yTd3tSQf35JY87koch5qfVFgAQuqFXLBLiity7v2p5VknAwZXGTGe9KoV56vk6d6Pb4.JPG)

As you can see I am an early bird so I can enjoy it in the absence of humanity. Not in the absence of animals though - look at this extra sweet dog!
![DSC_0006.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/242ruJPherqwFEDFveXk1YSuNbbmza5jmWjmVNxQbhRTDY9odnrgZLck1rVqncK1raz5M.JPG)

He gave me this priceless look through the whole time:
![DSC_0006(2).jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/23zGefS2HoLt8EjZrt4JzQZ6Qhsd3bLZ3wJ8Wnv5BDSZaskxru1D4qGfwHJi2n2hFWDs9.jpg)

I guess his owner is swimming and who can blame him/her in such a place:

![DSC_0009.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/243zSurtpiP1cjgkTDHKnjAbDR42EYHnK24e5pQZxKehtjaZQZE3WdEiTdggYcsGVGW3s.JPG)

![DSC_0007.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/23sUAHPCk7Gdw3ehVtaJe5dLybR1b7mEmcMtfRKzWen1wXaQmwPxcLL4jjhFWvetemLq6.JPG)

![DSC_0008.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/246ak5bU4GGbBD3TUFZsnYzq5GGcDcYR3GeCmy6gFTvQbjQwrWkbJfXRP8aM3uaHuPePK.JPG)

A few meters later I stop at one of the viewpoints of the peninsula - actually the whole peninsula is a viewpoint:

![DSC_0010.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/EqhMpvmpGwu1Yw7LA1vhGjcT9ygW2w68za4TVNmxGvZiwh86knZezVtf97vuvbCrrBr.JPG)

The following one is the main beach with free access of the area - fancy?

![DSC_0011.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/246ajnnY72eQnMGdcbmrtmpnHWTZGkssqwuEYPX2rTmibTJKoyn86duJLeeVDrU7dBjLo.JPG)

And the cycle/walk path is not that bad either:

![DSC_0012.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/23qrKtXrRh9S2Y9o1GYHFhRr6zx8n3utYGGCeLZgt5SR3kPXoC5w1prs2oT8Hw2ipCDqR.JPG)

When I used to stay in my penthouse in Athens this beach was my favourite for winter swimming:

![DSC_0013.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/23s9R7UeDF5diXDZ26KwCK4eMd4H2ivqyiVdf2cZHV8MNjYhj7WBVGqspXU8YctQKcC3i.JPG)
 But you might prefer the other one right next to it:

![DSC_0014.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/244KJxo76pNvYLBhiTJtPybHTnk9gyzyATEWgseaBBxSmmf8hCacbWsj9Nmb6YPMnPsLX.JPG)

It's a sweet morning undoubtedly:

![DSC_0015.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/23vPGQr8Lym9X8swbutTN324pDew6yjjDfabMVpqtBoszGod2eAjXr5qUxXjoFWjNUp3W.JPG)

At the tip of the peninsula I stop to picture a construction site, leave your imagination free on estimating the value of this when it will be over:

![DSC_0016.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/23vPEZJpPhVDF1Jut4QhxmGQ8hzaGxqyXk77tnFtaQeYgckuHuMQic9wMn35QFRgKF6bX.JPG)

I prefer sea view without cranes though:

![DSC_0017.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/241ZfiXzzTyJouxVWjPBB9foNTqdEcjuFxbJUwwh3HySFCHXg6zMgguKfNNxKFWvgxigu.JPG)

On the same peninsula, yes, I'm still at this tiny thing, there's one more project of expanding one of the local marinas - big cashflow there too:

![DSC_0018.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/246amrrKShKiqtANnhrpeVbpBYk1NBd1daP4EsTjWbQw1vWdETXHny3wtVowQwudYrYNq.JPG)

Remember those angled on board pictures I posted in my previous one? Time to show you how the road looks like so you answer the "how come":

![DSC_0019.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/2449xNUSrGgNKf5pioTxUgUdGcDSVFuXkGg7WfaACLHBzapT4huZwVBYga2y9dWwZLBzS.JPG)

This thing looks like the result of a "gimme a scenic race track" order. It's also a swimming heaven with crystal clear water as well:

![DSC_0020.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/2458Dkf5XPxnExFtFsfWZrwWFYxqzogmgThkvNWFrND6J4RHjdiehkKkBRhf5EdQJGJ3M.JPG)

![DSC_0021.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/2458Bkt4ckNQnbz4uRyzV7rUSvNDSrvCwUzmFmUtupcopDmwncZTFwMsszWpaWbephjJe.JPG)

Pity that this shitty cantine spoils the view - no idea if it spoils stomachs as well:

![DSC_0022.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/245cMx1zLFpJJqyosecDz1qfLDyfxUBpA5WBG75cCzqQtjk1hy92xSGkYAuqt4PBMsaKj.JPG)

Ready for the next bay? There you go:

![DSC_0023.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/244KK3ZXVuqocwQGXWBFXysBB4PLKTLgaVtPgk7Ek7DY96Yxyg6aZwAXSMC9r4TaKpKk4.JPG)


![DSC_0024.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/23zbPSD7nEF3nDCboBa9G3rKDkFpkonLE45FZiBsCKWnWz1an5JtUXdGq7hwNFxB1XBvR.JPG)


![DSC_0025.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/245cTkxoHqcu2qepuVxp2k6rQQnNA3JQvGYEfgtAsXMScvR3XsiFcC4zbfPQeR4WCgJV1.JPG)

This one is located right after a double short tunnel which always looked to me like noseholes:

![DSC_0026.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/23rB14TGkZNkmEArJuNbKCiCnCH6THGfn3Z5Qn4Y7yC3seQjKW5TyKWNgBXGBHdxHpyMR.JPG)

Here's the next one, not so tragic right?

![DSC_0027.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/243WRoX7cv4EZrGxngYbsYGqpfQDtfZsV3B6K2EkJxwUEMbgBbmocgnQvBnpvDkyTtRxy.JPG)
 But maybe the next is a little better:

![DSC_0028.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/23sJpHCVDLJE7LT3fg9qSxKsrXLWknbMsycm8vjKzVXZsPtEbrvTBKh6zdSi6ZhtiVPBD.JPG)

You know you're in Greece when such shades of blue flood your eyes:

![DSC_0030.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/2449p2UCAXqWvPoohnnDa9gchH5tSf3x1uCivPmUdoEBkYS9CMBWJTEk63TNo6d8V1w6A.JPG)

When my family used to rent a cottage not far from the next one we used to call this "the eucalyptus beach" - now you know why:

![DSC_0033.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/245SzuJCSWgfjgZQCGvcLdpLAEbvH9xPcNqmUf5NCpfLtMm5ibQe6rctGsLh6KydWpa4x.JPG)

You see, when you have way too many unnamed swimming options around you have to name them right?

Next one is far from unnamed as it is located at [Saronida](https://goo.gl/maps/RGWGgFnip3v68BLh9) and couldn't be out of the list not only because it's one of the best but it's also where I spent the summers of my childhood:

![DSC_0034.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/244e8Mbd6fYycJyyf25trymbYPFJdBBypZfG7sjar86gq5AGpb9vWxWueFKRVDdAt1iRm.JPG)

![DSC_0036.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/243BTkUsnWSMwNZeDotxHn6Vmmz7GQ5S2Bvs2EqW5fDadx9JdkHEJEWjCueitw9weoHHH.JPG)

![DSC_0035.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/243zZWVaTi1599GAYBxBefr7utVGYNAUPsk6b9B9ABCw48PrvuP3STuGG5PjTqiGyJNH7.JPG)

The competition is tough, next one please:

![DSC_0037.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/23rB14XQmAQafbuLs97xydrVhGBwBBT53MCgvMWquBVtMpyirTfaAeWq8Wb2mNDrGvY8T.JPG)

![DSC_0038.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/23r1cBaKTGoKVqFYkHVJmjF98eVPw3JnqGFg9F9wkzx9K4G5ZHBtXpVJEkh3ybGYW6hJu.JPG)

I don't always have a good viewpoint handy hence the next is a distant one:

![DSC_0039.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/246RRdkFpRZ6NSyZnRLoh1Ruz6DMbUHFjwouZkTnffdgqXkYfcVu9D5QwecPiAfChxQXs.JPG)

I love to see this village of cottages every single time I pass on my way to Sounio:

![DSC_0040.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/2449qvLVZ6Fvr5Y9yqFT3pKM1rRZ9WpJUPT5ybgGmwvFRB8aQrUBjRpKpgS3hBKeyWFMB.JPG)

![DSC_0041.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/243q4g16r191Z3LhfEJ6rSxAqDdXqLkqk2B8tKKKRZGvAywbvsfXBQYpdicGGV5unULJb.JPG)

I think I am spoiling you with all this beauty. Let's add some ugliness just for the shake of balance. Ouch:

![DSC_0047.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/23zS3AkYRG8rK4ogu9BHMhuYgEpbZ3Kt8UD9i9qa45hxGgs92i1YbDyFKWkn8xHjth57V.JPG)

So I found this thing on the coastal road halfway:
![DSC_0042.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/23tmKroYPNLgUiQqi3qbHLjxyZ9TD7BZUNEoR3tneQ8EHw3gmUt4526dPcRg4y8zZhVH1.JPG)

Begs the question how come. It's too burnt down to be an accident and too busy spot to be a criminal act:
![DSC_0043.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/23xyVDCe9ecXUpqphye2d649fDC4DmeJWdZspXy87iw3v9DKqc1brxiYUWvmU5xUg5j8u.JPG)

"Mint condition Mercedes, owner was a smoker, price negotiable":
![DSC_0044.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/23y8vEvsLbHepo1N8vrmaCLqwJZyeMoPa5NeXMakVo9iFo7LBHFPjW6ZGYqN6WayQTHDk.JPG)

![DSC_0045.JPG](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/orestistrips/23xKxmvDuRZhLBRXyePoPxrqWWEQfMPnyKSdRSfJ4BkP5yxcSdYqo6r2Hx68Nvh1ZJzY1.JPG)

Thanks for having a look at all these, see you on my next one ;)

P.S. Don't mistake this as a "picture all beaches" mission - that's just impossible. These are less than half of what's around :)
