Athens to honour ‘the Greeks and the sea’ with new naval tradition park

·

Greece will build a new naval tradition park named Odysseus – The Greeks and the Sea at Flisvos in Palaio Faliro on the southern coast of Athens.

According to Ekathimerini, the new park will feature the Averof battleship, the Olympias trireme, the Hellas Liberty merchant and the submarine Proteus.

The WWI Battleship Georgios Averof currently operates as a floating museum and will be featured in the new park.

Built on 2.6 hectares of public land, the park holds a concession of a 1km sea area.

Shipowner Aris Theodorides is donating $35 million euro to Theodorides, a non-profit company, who will be constructing the entire facility.
