Alimos, formerly known as Kalamaki, is one of the most renowned southern suburbs of Athens. It is famous for its beaches, the marina, and the high quality of life it offers. Once a summer resort for affluent Athenians, it experienced strong residential and touristic development in the 1970s — a growth that still defines the area today.
Its history reaches far back in time: the great historian Thucydides was born here, while archaeological findings reveal settlements dating back to 2300 BC. Alimos remains a place of cultural and historical value, as well as a modern landmark of the Athenian Riviera.
Alimos Marina is the largest marina in the Balkans and one of the most popular in the Eastern Mediterranean. Its strategic position — close to the center of Athens, the port of Piraeus, and just 40 minutes from Athens International Airport — makes it a top choice for sea lovers. It offers safe, organized berthing services, with facilities and support that ensure a smooth experience for both visitors and vessels.
