Olympias, Reconstructed trireme ship at Hellenic Navy Museum, Greece

The Olympias features three rows of oars on each side, measuring 37 meters in length and requiring 170 rowers for operation at full capacity.

The Hellenic Navy constructed this vessel in 1987 to replicate the ancient Athenian warships that secured victory against the Persian fleet at Salamis in 480 BCE.

The vessel demonstrates classical Greek naval engineering through regular demonstrations of rowing techniques and maritime combat strategies at Mediterranean naval events.

Visitors can examine the ship's authentic wooden construction, triple-tier rowing system, and naval warfare equipment during guided tours from March through October.

Scientists and historians conducted extensive research on ancient pottery, texts, and architectural remains to determine the exact specifications for building this trireme.
