Reviews
The Museum Ship Averof was a fascinating experience. The ship was constructed in 1911 for the Italian navy. However, the Greek navy acquired her in 1912. She had a long and distinguished career, including fighting in WWII. She is located in the Port of Piraeus, which is easily accessible by public transportation.
