Places to go::
Athens - 30 kms away - bus runs every 30’ to nearest underground station (combined ticket rate Euro 1,15 only!) for short trips to Acropolis, the museums, Plaka (the ancient part of Athens with picturesque taverns and souvenir shops), all places of interest in the centre of Athens, Piraeus (the biggest Greek port) and Kifissia, the aristocratic suburb. Marathon - (with its dam from which the Athenians get their water supply) is just 25 kms north and Sounion - with the Temple of Poseidon, 30 kms south, both accessible by car. The new name of Loutsa is 'Artemis', as the ruins of the Goddess of Hunting were found in the center of the town. The local museum of Peania Cava - The beautiful cave of Peania on Hymettus mountain, 15 km.
