Flisvos Marina, Marina in Palaio Faliro, Greece.
Flisvos Marina is a modern harbor facility on the Saronic Gulf coast designed to accommodate yachts and various types of vessels. The facility includes fuel stations, maintenance workshops, dining options, and mooring berths in different sizes suitable for both sailing and motorized boats.
This location occupies the remnants of ancient Phaleron, which was Athens' primary harbor before Themistocles established Piraeus as the new port. Building a modern marina here connects the site's long seafaring past with contemporary maritime activity.
The marina hosts the facilities of the Nautical Club of Palaio Faliro, whose members train and sail from its berths. Moored here is the battleship Averof, the most historic warship of modern Greece, now a floating museum visitors can board. The quays also hold restaurants, cafes and bars, and a park with a children's playground, drawing Athenians for walks and meals by the water.
The harbor is south of central Athens and is easily reached by public transportation or car, with ample parking available nearby. Spring through fall offers the best weather for visiting and aligns with the busiest sailing season.
The facility includes specialized berths designed for large superyachts measuring around 70 meters, which is rare for harbors near Athens. Additionally, its location provides direct access to nearby islands in the Saronic Gulf, enabling quick day trips for visitors with boats.
