Battleship Averoff Museum

The Battleship Averoff is the most important and impressive surviving naval vessel in the history of the Hellenic Navy. Commissioned in 1911, it remained in active service for more than 44 years and is now moored in Athens' waters for all to explore. The ship survived four different wars in the first half of the 20th century. The greatest role it played was as the flagship of the Hellenic fleet in the era of the Balkan Wars. Indeed, it proved to be the catalyst on the road to victory for Greece and its Allies against the then-powerful Turkey.
