Everything about Porto Germeno Aigosthena totally explained

Porto Germeno (Aegosthena or Aigosthena) is a resort area located on the west side of Attica prefecture on the northeast coast of the Corinthian Gulf on the site of the ancient Aegosthena near Psatha and Agios Vassilios (Livathostra),Greece.
   The area is covered with pine and olive trees and offers views of the Gulf of Corinth, especially from the road to Psatha. Beaches, one hotel (the Egosthenio)with a pool and taverns are available.
   Nearby is the fortress of Aegosthena which dates from the 3rd century BC and is considered to be one of the best-preserved ancient castles in Greece. Due to its position on the borders of Attica, it changed hands several times between the Athenians and the Megarians. It belonged to the Achaean League and, for a while, to the League of the Boeotians. Near the gate of the north section are the ruins of a five-aisled basilica with a mosaic floor, which date to the 5th century AD. The medieval period includes a series of cells on the acropolis, the remains of a monastery and a small church which still functions today, dedicated to Saint George. Getting there If you're on Attiki Odos (Motorway) with direction to Elefsina, exit number 2 to Thiva - Mandra. If you're on the Athens - Korinthos motorway, exit to the right to Thiva - Mandra. You will pass Agios Sotiras, Karaouli, Inoi and at Kaza turn to the left following the signs to Villia and Porto Germeno. Long before Kaza junction, there's another route to Porto Germeno via Alepohori (signpost on the left). The route via Kaza has more turns but it's considered the nicer one.
