Berthing Experience

Most berths are taken by charter fleets and resident boats, so visitors should contact the marina before arrival. The marina's operating regulation sets the largest berths at 50 metres.

Facilities Afloat

Berths have water and electricity. Refuelling, pump-out stations and hazardous waste tanks are available.

Toilets and showers for boat owners and charter clients are at Pier 4 and Pier 7, with access by a personal code from the Front Office. Wi-Fi and parking are free.

Marine Services

The marina runs a launching and recovery service and a dry dock area for more than 350 boats, guarded around the clock with CCTV. Sail repair and other technical services are on site.

Ashore

The marina is about 40 minutes by road from Athens International Airport and the port of Piraeus. The tram along the coast road connects Alimos with central Athens.

The marina is 15 km south-west of central Athens, 8 km south of Piraeus and 30 km from Athens International Airport Eleftherios Venizelos. Trams, buses and taxis serve the area.

Nearby Cruising

The islands of the Saronic Gulf — Aegina, Poros, Hydra and Spetses — are the usual first passages from Alimos. In July and August the Meltemi, a strong northerly wind, blows across the Aegean; the Saronic Gulf is more sheltered.
