Olympias Triremene

Anyone been out to see the Olympias at Palaio Faliro? How was it?

I haven’t been to see the ship but I occasionally go down to Palio Faliro when I’m in Athens. It’s easy enough to get to either by tram or by bus from, for example, Syngrou metro station and is a nice little area. Pleasant to walk around, some nice coffee bars and a lively atmosphere.

The newly opened Stavros Niarchos Centre is in the area and worth a visit. It’s a really amazing building.

Whether it is worth going down probable depends how long you have in Athens and what you’re interests are.
