The directions to the hash - for the record

Directions:

 

From the North:
Take the Attiki Odos toward Markopoulo, pass the turning for the Airport and
follow the signs for Markopoulo. There are three sets of traffic lights
allowing left turns...take the third set and turn left, then continue as **
below.

From the South:
From Glyfada, through Vari, to Koropi. Turn right and right again toward
Markopoulo. At the traffic lights in Markopoulo, you want to go straight
across, then continue as ** below.

** From the lights:
Markopoulo has a difficult one way system!
Pass the "South Park" cafe on the left, and at the next junction  there is a
petrol station on the opposite corner. Turn left here.
Follow this road, across the lights, until you reach the "No Entry" sign.
Turn right because you have to.

Follow this road to the T-Junction, with a café opposite, and turn left.
You are now on the road out of Markopoulou, heading for Porto Rafti.

Pass "Toys Planet" on the right and the Sex Shop (home deliveries
available! [Clit: what about drive thru??]) on the left.
At the traffic island, turn left towards Artemis.

Follow the Artemis road through the back country for about 6km, then take
the left fork at the junction, signposted for Loutsa / Artemida
Follow this road for another 1km, to a sharp left turn, where there is an unsigned dirt road to the sea. We meet along this dirt road.

 

The (very popular) Fish Taverna is next to where we will park.


IF THAT SOUNDS DIFFICULT... [MD: I suggest this next way]
Come past our house in Loutsa (Hash trash 17th February) and keep going for
3km, pass the hotel, then turn left on the dirt road..

***Important***
It will take you at least 35 minutes from Mesogeion, or at least 20 from the Airport
