About This Place
The Battleship Georgios Averof (also known as Museum Ship Averof) is a historic early-20th-century Greek battleship moored in Faliro, south of Athens, serving as a floating naval museum managed by the Hellenic Navy. The ship participated in the Balkan Wars and the First World War, and it is now open for tours of its decks and gun emplacements. The site also displays the reconstructed ancient trireme Olympias. A fascinating heritage attraction for families interested in maritime and naval history.
