Bike trip to Perama

This afternoon I was heading to Lidl on the bike and on the spur of the moment decided to go to visit Perama which is in the Gulf of Gera. The route took me up past Moria where the refugee camp is, past Therma, where there are hot spring baths. Perhaps when Louise is back we can visit them.

Then a brief detour to Ippeios, a small traditional village where they were starting the olive harvest before returning to the coast road and down through Evriaki, which looked would be a busy tourist resort in season, but now closed for winter, to eventually arrive at my destination.

It is a landscape of extensive olive groves and quite beautiful.

Perama itself is not very pretty but is the industrial port of the region and houses the old, now derelict, tannery and a large army base. The landmark of Perama is a windmill dating back to the beginning of the 20^th century.
