The Park of Naval Tradition - Averof is in Trocadero, in the area of Paleo Faliro, about 8 km from the center of Athens.

Of course, the Averof Battleship holds a special place, being a top exhibit of the park. The battleship was launched in 1910 and was named after the national benefactor Georgios Averof who paid much of the price of the ship.

The Averof Battleship dominated the Aegean during the Balkan Wars and played a key role in the victory of the Greeks. Until its decommissioning in 1952, it constituted the flagship of the Greek fleet.
Today it is a unique ship & floating museum that can be visited almost throughout, allowing visitors to see first hand not just a boat but a living part of the modern Greek history.

At the Park of Naval Tradition, besides the famous Averof battleship, you can also see:

• The sailboat Evagelistria, one of the last authentic sailing boats
• The steamer "Thales of Miletus," the oldest cable ship in the world
• The Athenian trireme "Olympias" , a replica of the ship used by ancient Athenians
• The torpedo boat Velos
• The sailboat "Eugene Eugenides"

Those who love the sea and the ships will definitely love the Park of Maritime Tradition - Averof.
