Athens info and map

Here is a map of the port of Pireaus and the city of Athens. We have signed up to go on a tour in Athens with Greece Cruise Excursions. Their description of the tour is:

The bluish arrow is where the ship docks and the yellow arrow is the Acropolis. To really see the city you need to zoom in.

The Pláka
is the picturesque old historical neighbourhood of Athens, clustered around the northern and eastern slopes of the Acropolis, and incorporating labyrinthine streets and neoclassical architecture. Plaka is built on top of the residential areas of the ancient town of Athens. (from Wikipedia).
