#115 Lavrio port and city walk in Attica, Greece

Lavrio (before early 11th century BC:Thorikos; from Middle Ages until 1908: Ergastiria) is a town in southeastern part of Attica, Greece. It is part of Athens metropolitan area and the seat of the municipality of Lavreotiki.

Lavrio was famous in Classical antiquity for its silver mines, which was one of the chief sources of revenue of the Athenian state. The metallic silver was mainly used for coinage. The Archaeological Museum of Lavrion shows much of the story of these mines.

It is located about 60 km SE of Athens city center, SE of Keratea and North of Cape Sounio. The town is situated on a bay overlooking the island of Makronisos in the east. The port is in the middle and gridded streets cover the residential area of Lavrio.

Lavrio is not part of Athens. It's one of the main ports of Greece, about 50 miles southeast of Athens.
