Good god. After overnight crossing of the Adriatic and Aegean to Piraeus, we arrived in Greece.

Drove long coast 250km to Athens and arrived 3 hours early for overnight boat to Chios (Greek island off coast of Turkey).
Time for a leisurely lunch in the car…

We waited at dock E2 as directed to exchange our e-ticket reference number for our boarding passes for the 9pm boat.
By 9pm there was no boat, and no one at the ticket office – buy 100 other people waiting for a boat with us. When the ticket window opened at 9.10 we were told we were at the wrong dock.
RACED the Land Rover round Piraeus port (raced is a relative term in a Land Rover), screeched up to the ticket deck and charged towards the boarding ramp. Greek official didn’t want to let us on as they were raising ramp but Helene whipped out her special magic smile and melted his cold, hard heart!
Made it.
