Description
We are in Piraeus, the third largest city of Greece after Athens and Thessaloniki, with its own regional urban zone, and seat of the most important port of Greece.

The film opens with a large panoramic shot of the port of Piraeus. We watch the streets, the buildings, the buses and cars of that era and we see two large signs on the roofs of buildings, one reading “THE AUTHENTIC METAXA" and the second "UNION OF PARIS / PLYTAS INSURANCES”.

The filmmaker continues filming the port’s buildings and we see vaguely the cathedral of Agia Triada and the historical "Clock" of Piraeus which was demilished in 1968. Next we see the ship
Pindos" which was then used for the Argosaronikos trips.

As the panoramic shot continues, we can see the church of Saint Spyridon, the building of the newspaper "Ethnos" and a building with a large sign on its roof that says "GREEK LINE". The lens shows us a closer shot of the GREEK LINE building and the ship "Stella Maris".

The film closes with one more panoramic view of the coastal road.
