Description
The ship is probably departing from the Tzelepis Coast.

The filmmaker gives us shots of the passengers who stand on the deck and say goodbye to Piraeus. We can see the funnel with the characteristic colors of the ships owned by Typaldos company and then shots from the raising of the anchor and a few cars on the deck of the ship.

The ship moves slowly as it leaves the port and the lens wanders for a while to the buildings that are built around Piraeus, just before it meets the ship “Agamemnon" which at that time was owned by Dorian Cruises shortly before its bankruptcy. On 27/3/1968 because of its modification to a cruise ship, it lost its stability and sank on the Xavierou Coast. It was owned by Cape Shipping ltd (of Xenakis) that time.

Afterwards, we watch footage from the Cape Tamelos in Kea, as a ship passes by, the lens focuses on the lighthouse.

The film closes with views of the setting sun sparkling on the sea.
