' ns Jwflin On the cold, windy morning of 28 February 1953 the VALCOUR moved into the port of Piraeus, Greece. The Greek pilot and Mediterranean mooring gave us a new experience to remember. Late that day the USS WATTS moored across the slip from us and gave us a chance to exchange movies. Piraeus is the port city for Athens and oifered very little of entertainment value to us. However, over half the crew joined the tour parties which enabled us to see the Athens of our history books. Even though the skies were overcast, cameras recorded for us the trips through the ancient and modern 'parts of the centuries-old city of the Creeks. Standing high above the city is the Acropolis and crowning that fortress-hill is the Parthenon. Probably no work of man has caused more favorable comment as to architecture and durability and we added our words of commendation. We visited Sling Stadium-home of the Olympic Games, the Palace, Constitution Square, the Parks, and the Academy of Science. On Monday, 2 March, with our first collection of souvenirs, we set sail for Izmir, Turkey only a 'gstone's throw away.
