Bike ride along the coast of Perea - fishing boats along the way

Back from Turkey with various activities and visits to Istanbul and Antalya, the glorious sunshine lured us for a bike ride along the promenade of Perea and Agia Triada on the bay of Thessalonica.

Despite the advanced season, there were still many local bathers on the beach and not only for sailing and sunbathing, but also for swimming in the beautiful clear waters of the bay, even if the photo shows a deserted stretch of beach.

A rusty, old mooring point for fishing boats on the beach testifies of formerly numerous fishermen.

Various teams spent their free time playing volleyball on the beach.

At the pier, the fishing boats bob in the light swell.

Despite rising clouds, it was still more then 30 degrees warm, so the short pants and T-shirt were the right clothing.

Another mooring point on the pier, from which the passenger ferry leaves to the city center of Thessalonica (at least during the summer months).

And another mooring point in the form of a bollard, which also shows strong corrosion spots due to the salt-laden sea air.
