Athens & Peloponnese ITMB

This map of Athens & Poloponnese by ITMB is double sided and printed on waterproof paper.

Athens is one of the most ancient and historic cities in the world.  The Acropolis is the mountain upon which rests the Temple Athena, often called the Parthenon as it dominates the terrain.  There are two other ancient temples on the Acropolis as well.  Close by is the Agora, the ancient city market centre and at the foot of the Acropolis are two open-air theatres that date back to ancient times.  Athens is also a modern city with congested roads, vibrant stores and an excellent underground transit system. 

On one side is a map of Athens @ 1:8,000 including an inset map of Piraeus @ 1:6,500, the nearby port city, with its many terminals for ferries leading to the various Greek islands.  It is also one of the most active cruise ship terminals in the world operating from Terminals A through to C.  A regional transit map is also included.

The reverse side @ 1:625,000 concentrates on the peninsula (technically an island) west of Athens called the Peloponnese that is the home to Olympus, Sparta and other former city states of legendary fame and many of the Greek islands that are relatively close to Athens (Andros, Chios, Paros, Naxos, Samos, Zakynthos, and Kefalonia, for example).  By the shape of Greece, Delphi and much of Epirus is included. Altogether, this provides one map covering the city and its hinterland for the benefit of the end user
