In the port of Piraeus one can find maritime history and open landscape. The maritime haven is where I spent my formative years. Before me, my grandfather was working at the ships as a cook. His stories from far away places ignited my dreams of endless travels. I witnessed its evolution from the biggest national port to the grandeur that now defines the Mediterranean. Its waters echo industry, maritime prowess, and histories. Yet, the sea remains an enduring symbol, an eternal connection to the allure of distant horizons. As new economic opportunities threaten to erase the unique history of the place, a new generation with seafaring spirit desires distant lands.
