Paleo Faliro Beach Live Cam

Palaio Faliro runs along the Saronic Gulf on the southern edge of Athens, with the coast road and the tram line behind the beach. The webcam looks west from a hotel towards Piraeus.

This was the harbour of Athens before Piraeus was built, and the bay has been rebuilt several times since. Most of what stands here now dates from the works for the 2004 Olympics, when the waterfront was cleared and the sports halls put up.

The armoured cruiser Georgios Averof, launched in 1910 and the flagship of the Greek fleet in the Balkan wars, is moored along this shore as a museum. Behind it is the cultural centre Renzo Piano built on the old racecourse, with a park sloping up over its roof.
