One of my vital requirements to survive in big cities is my AT, so I need to

What is the best way to go from Germany to Greece/Athens ?
Which ferry, what price, how long ?

We (My girlfriend and me) made holidays last summer in Greece, and went there
by a ferry named "El Venizelos". It is said to be the biggest ferry boat from italy to
Greece - and in fact it was superb. The name of the line was "ANEK" as far as I can
remember. (No I don't get provision :) )

It was about 5000 ATS (2 persons, motorbike, 2-bed cabin, Triest-,,
but on the ferry itself we figured out, that many people paid less
than that. 

What is your opinion about the infamous air pollution in Athens and the heat.

If I am honest, I wouldn't go to Athens by bike in midsummer ( aehm... I really don't 
want to upset our friends from athens here ), but I found it terrible driving my @ in this
city. Too hot, too many cars, too much traffic, traffic lights everywhere... I really would not
do it again. People, driving a closed car with air-conditioning, for sure have been happier
than me.

But this are only my experiences.

Regards - Claus.
