Back to Athens

From Epidauros a very scenic road along the sea to Methana, from where we took the ferry to Athens. It's now time to take out sun glasses and sun lotion, because UV radiation is strong in springtime
As we've been cycling through mostly mountaineous terrain over the past five days, one could study rocky outcrops along the roadsides in abundance, reaching from thrusted lime stone sediments to more horizontal and obviously much less resistant conglomerates.

From the steeper cliffs there may be also stones dangerous stones on the road and it's good to wear a helmet because of those. Otherwise the streets and roads in this part of mainland Greece are very quiet and there are almost no tourists around.
The other thing that one can study in both abundance and detail (especially during the slow climbings) is the plastic trash along the roads. Very distinctive feature of mediterranean countries!
