Rafina is the port of the Mediterranean, on the coast of Eastern Attica.
It is about 25 km from Athens.
Today, its port is one of the largest in Greece and has great mobility.
It is a historic municipality, inhabited since prehistoric times.
In 3200 BC the prehistoric settlement of Askitari was built on the homonymous small rocky peninsula immediately south of the place where Marikes beach is located today.
During the Asia Minor catastrophe of 1922, many residents of Triglia in Asia Minor came to Rafina, most of them by ships of the Triglian shipowner Filippos Kavounidis.
They settled in Rafina and formed a refugee settlement called "Nea Triglia", which, however, did not prevail.
However, there is a house-museum that has been preserved since they came due to the destruction of Smyrna.
The museum includes all the furniture and equipment of the family that inhabited it.
Rafina is located in the center of Eastern Attica and is the second largest port in the prefecture after Piraeus and one of the largest in the country.
Nice video! I sure wish we had ferries over here. All our ferry ventures failed. BTW, was there a focus issue in one or two of the clips or am I just tired? Mahalo for the history narrative!
Good to see the Pandemic numbers for Greece are getting back under control again. That was quite an opening. The coming months are going to be rough as COVID-19 spreads deeper into World populations that will have problems with social distancing.
