Museum Ship Averof in Athens

Amazing battleship museum you should definitely visit. Congratulations to all personnel!

Closes at 14.00 oclock, great ship very good condition for ww1 only 3 euros each ,One of the cheapest things to do in Athens. The tram is the best way for you to get there from Athens. The SNFCC close to the area to .remember to see the replica trireme

Nice place to visit if interested in maritime history.

Very good museum military ship

Really well preserved and brilliantly presented unique 1910 warship - the best €3 I spent. Just be aware going anywhere other than the main deck involves the original steep ladders & stairs.

Its a historic piece of war

Super cool museum. Historic war ship that fought in ww1 and some of ww2. There are a lot of exhibitions inside and nice places to the pictures on top deck, I wish you were allowed to climb higher and see a better view of the marina and the size of the boat.Bags are not allowed so you either deposit them where you buy the tickets or just bring small pouch with you

A beautiful, well taken care of ship that has a rich and significant history. Plus, its a pre ww1 battleship which makes it rare today in its own right. I highly recommend the visit.While youre there, you can see the Olympias trireme too!

Great visit, if you are an History enthusiast its a must see. A beautiful deep dive in mariners life and Greek history. I loved exploring the ship, its decks and the various rooms, furnished as the style of 1800s.

A special museum, the legendary battleship Averof (1911-1952of the Greek Navy, very well preserved, really worth a visit. Together in the same space you will be able to see a replica of an ancient trireme.

An incredible museum. A battleship from early 1900 or to be precise from 1911 that played a huge role to Greeces dominance at the Aegean sea. Very well preserved. A must visit for both greeks and tourists. Next to this battleship there is also a real size replica of the ancient trireme. An ancient type of ship that was used at naval battles in ancient Greece and also the one that helped ancient Greeks to sail all over eastern Mediterranean.

Found this place while walking the marina. Didnt know this cruiser was there and that you can actually visit it. Enter price is so cheap it would be a pity to miss the opportunity to visit it. I was almost alone in the ship which was amazing to experience the place. Definitely a place to recommend!

Wonderful place. A real look in the military past. Original ship. Cheap entry. Accessible by public transportation.

This is very disappointing! Entrance fee is 3€, but they dont have change, and dont accept a card!

A living legend the Greek battleship Georgios Averof which never lost a naval battle

The website says their open, the sign on the door says they should be open. When I called, they said they were open but refused to unlock the entrance! Then he hung up on me. We spend 1.5 hours on the metro to get here!

An awesome floating museum of the only remaining battle cruiser of its kind.

One of the attraction to visit in Athens with kids, then this must be the one, we all loved to visit this war ship museum what amazing experience, and very reasonable ticket 3euro for adults, child under 12 is half, and under is 5 free

Be sure to take note of the opening hours and free entrance days

Excellent floating museum with lots of things to learn about the history of the boat on the history of Chris

A very interesting and historical site of Greece! My kids loved it as you can really walk around and see a 1911 build battle ship.

Excellent ship to visit in a wonderful Marina area of Athens.goods for kids bit not only.entry is very cheap and you can spend 2 hours there visiting many cabines

This 1905 cruiser is worth visiting for any naval history fan. It’s a self guided tour that takes you through the first two levels of the ship as well as on the deck. They love and accept change at the entry (€3 fee).

Children really enjoy this tour, need more than 2 hours to go around the whole ship, too many things to see and learn. Very clean. Not baby friendly, quite easy to park.

Formidable armored cruiser built in Italy and used by the Royal Hellenic Navy during the first half of 20th century.Rather unique and large museum with well-preserved interior and exterior, cheap ticket prices and much to see. WC and souvenir shop available.Its a must visit for people who are interested in battleships and/or Greek history.

The ship that destroyed others but never got destroyed. One of the biggest and most important ships in the History of the Hellenic Navy, Averof has managed to defeat entire Turkish fleets during the naval conquests and always coming back victorious. There’s no doubt that this ship is still a nightmare for all the enemies of Greece and that fear still boils in the blood of some people.

Replica of 2500 yr old ship from Greece. Excellent. 3 euros. And u get yo see greek nacys ww1 ship avros.

A place you must visit

A historic ship opens to the public as museum. It was built between 1908 - 1911 made in Livorno of Italy. The majority of the ship is accessible. The disabled have access to several areas with the help of an elevator for the external staircase. Ticket is inexpensive (3 euro per adult and 1.5 euro per child).It is very close to Flisvos Marina so you could eat or drink something and admire more ships. You will definitely enjoy the visit. You can easily access this area using tram or bus.

Historically interesting and significant ship. Worth the visit, while in Pireaus.

Cheap entrance fee, but little too see. Explicatory signs mostly in greek. But it remains an impressive ship. The trireme olympus is also close by to look at.

It was very interesting and well-kept. Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, it was not possible to get inside the ship, although there were very few visitors. Unfortunately, the opening times are not advantageous. Besides the Acropolis & Co. Athens doesnt have much to offer, and then such unfavorable opening times are a bit unfortunate

We went there at around 2pm, and there was a notice in greek, that it is open only till 1pm and then later from 6 to 9pm. You should refresh your Google info, so as to help those tourist who still want to visit the Museum...

A decommissioned ships as naval museum which keeps / carry the history of the country, marked by events of national importance. Definitely, worth to visit with all family.The ship served as the Greek flagship during most of the first half of the century. Although popularly known as a battleship, she is in fact an armored cruiser the only ship of this type still in existence.

Very interesting place, lots of artifacts, letters, photos. A glance into the life of the ship and its crew for the duration of its service for the Greek Navy. Enjoyed it very much!

Museum on the ship. I think it isnt working because of lack of engines (non confirmation info). A lot of things connected with navy inside there. Be careful, it is open between 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.

Old ship with an interesting history and fairly well preserved.More English translations and more history of the ship would be nice. We sat around reading the Wikipedia article about it.Its also a bit tricky to get to, Google wont map to it directly via public transport, but you can get to it via metro transferring to the tram easily.

Interesting ship when you ever wanted to see a battleship from inside. Most informations are in Greek but some in English, too.Most fascinating is the difference of how the normal crew had to live and the Admirals section at the bow. He lived like on a private yacht.

One of the BEST experiences if you come to Greece is to visit trireme Olympia (only 3€and visit for free the historical Averof cruiser (museum ship now). On summers usually the Olympias trireme opens for visitors (either visit or try your hand at rowing out to the Saronic gulf). It is a replica model of an ancient trireme. Visit the Hellenic navy site for more info.

Take a moment to go back in history. A well kept destroyer ship from WW1. My grand children love it, every time we visited. A good thing to do for your kids when in Athens.

Wonderful display, well maintained and the staff are Greek navy sailors who are super service oriented.

If you like miltary history, this is yours place.

Great experience! Fully recommended! Dont miss it, if in Athens. One can also swim at the nearby beaches or visit the Niarchos Foundation Building, home of the Opera House of Athens and the National Library. You can spend a whole day in the area, just amazing!

Outstanding. A wonderful and unique piece of history. Much of the ship is accessible, including upper decks, bridge, various mess decks and quarters (engine room was not accessible when I visited). Easily accessible by train/tram from central Athens

Nice but some objects has info only in Greek, also I find it qite strange that we had to give back Our backpacks before the entrance Just outside, there was no storage So I didnnt feel So safe a out it.

This museum is a really exciting experience: it is a real battleship which participated in both world wars and several other campaigns. As far as I understood it was a Greek flagship in the first half of XX century. And such a piece of history is available for a visit - 3 levels are accessible. Great experience for kids!

One of the ships of the marine museum, a famous and historical warship.

.....its a pity that this glory of the Greek Navy with officers and crew of the past, even during second war ,served for freedom and glory of our loving country up to Indian ocean as escort ship with destroyer Queen Olga ..and now being used for wedding party and existing crew that should serve in a river barge not respecting her history her famous naval battles and their past crews that were Seamen and gentlemen...The rate 1 is high for the way they treat visitors...of course no need to say there is not enough rating beyond and above 5 for her History and her crews when she was operating as a fighting Battleship. ..

We didnt have a chance to have a look inside because it was closed. No notice was provided on the internet. We wasted our precious time in Athens to go to Piraeus only to see the ship. It shows lack of organization on the part of the museum authorities.Nevertheless, the ship looks impressive from the outside and Im sure its worth visiting.It will reopen in November 2017.

As a military enthusiast I had to go here. As often in Greece I went twice: the first time after being misinformed about opening times and a second time now that I knew when it was open (FYI during the week until 14:00). Small but impressive, with amazing history. Not too much to see, but my girlfriend enjoyed it as well, because it gives an indication of living on such a ship. For only 2 euro! Had a good talk with an officer discussing the naval guns on the ship. Highly recommended! First make sure you understand public transportation and that you have a unlimited travel card. The marina nearby is nothing worth mentioning unless you like looking at very expensive boats.
