S/S Hellas Liberty Museum

Reviewed By Zeke49 - Sweden, null

S/S Hellas Liberty, one of the three remaining Liberty ships. Over 2700 identical ships were built in the USA during WW II. They were built faster than the German/Japanese/Italian U-boats could sink them and played a vital role in the outcome of the war. After the war, these ships (built to last 5 years) traded for some 25 years. The re-building of the Greek merchant fleet was, by large, based on Liberty ships.

Archaeological Museum of Piraeus

Reviewed By permia

It was absorbing moving around the splendid array of artefacts from antiquity. Funerary stelae and sculptures abound and reflect the reverence accorded to this seminal life event. Many stone reliefs are to be seen. A Greek pursuing a wounded Amazon who's bearing a shield is cogent, as are those of a Priest and Priestess in ritual attitude and the narrative of a Dispute between Apollo and Herakles. Herakles with a quadriga of chariot pulled by four horses is wonderful. That portraying three nymphs in motion is another highlight. The Piraeus Apollo in bronze is a prized sculpture and is the earliest known life-size depiction dating from around 525 BCE. It is accompanied with slightly later fine bronzes of Athena and Artemis.

5. Museum of Olympiacos

Hellenic Maritime Museum

Reviewed By permia

We were particularly taken with the marvellous details on Triremes, which were of the utmost importance in securing the Athenian empire in antiquity. An account of their conception, scale and naval effectiveness was engrossing to peruse. Athenian triumph, mediated with Triremes, at the Battle of Salamis against the vastly superior Persian forces resulted in Xerxes retreating back to Asia. The arrival of Greek oil tankers in the 20th century courtesy of Onassis and other magnates played a seminal role in the world economy. This vast sweep of maritime events and influence is well covered and reflected.

Electric Railway Museum

Reviewed By erijon

This beautiful small museum hides the huge history of objects related to buses, trams and trains in Athens and Piraeus of the last century. It's so impressive and live that you feel as if you have travelled back in time and you can touch and see so many exhibits: a whole wooden wagon, mechanisms, ticket booth, books, tickets etc. I REALLY LOVED IT ! Entrance is free and it's open on weekdays 9:00-14:00.
