Overview

Lavrion Marina, also known as Olympic Marine, is a premier yachting hub located on the southeastern coast of the Attica peninsula. It serves as a primary gateway to the Cyclades island group, positioned significantly closer to islands like Kea and Kythnos than Athens' main ports. The marina is designed to accommodate over 600 vessels, including large yachts up to 50 meters in length. It functions as a full-service technical facility, providing extensive repair, maintenance, and dry-docking capabilities. The complex integrates private infrastructure including professional workshops, a fuel station, and an on-site chandlery. Unlike municipal harbors, this is a privately managed facility focused on long-term mooring and professional sailing logistics.

Insider tips

Book mooring spots well in advance, especially during the peak sailing months from June through August.

Utilize the marina as a base for provisioning if you are planning a multi-day trip to the Cyclades, as local supply options are robust.

Ensure you have your original boat registration and insurance documents ready for port authorities upon arrival.

What to avoid

Do not attempt to dock without prior coordination with the marina office; avoid entering commercial shipping lanes marked for the adjacent ferry port.

Etiquette

Maintain a quiet volume near the piers to respect boat owners living on their vessels; wear non-slip boat shoes on docks.
