A fascinatingly lengthy back-story pertains to this venerable naval ship. After strolling around the lovely quays we boarded for a absorbing picture of Greek armoured-ship life for the first half of the 20th century. Cabins as they were are to be seen, including those of the captain and officers. Keeping the crew with good sustenance was essential and the ample kitchens saw to this. It was interesting to discover that it was constructed in Italy in the first years of the 20th century for the Italian authorities but was acquired by Greece with financial support from philanthropist George Averoff. After seeing laudable service in the Balkan Wars as well as during WW II, in 1952 it was eventually decommissioned.

Eugenides Planetarium

Reviewed By costaspal - Athens, Greece

One of the best places to get your kids. It has it all; Library, shows at the Planetarium dome, store to buy educational gifts, café...! Not sure whether also English-speaking shows are played, thought. I haven't been to a Planetarium - anywhere - that didn't amaze me. They always are people & tourist oriented so buildings and people working there are always at their best. Have seen multiple shows with my 8y old daughter and keep coming back in every opportunity. Possibility for online ticket purchase - don't bother printing them on paper, just keep the PDF handy on your mobile (QR scanning). Ideal to spend a day with your kid(s) "half" there and "half" at the SNFCC (Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center) across the other side of Syngrou Av.
