Overview

Olympic Marine is a major full-service yachting marina located on the Lavrio peninsula in the Attica region of Greece. The facility provides berthing for approximately 680 yachts up to 50 meters in length and includes a specialized boatyard for maintenance and storage. It is strategically positioned at the gateway to the Cyclades, serving as a primary departure point for sailing charters heading into the Aegean Sea. The complex includes extensive infrastructure such as a 70-ton travel lift, fuel station, and various marine technical support services. The location functions as a maritime industrial hub rather than a recreational public beach. The site is situated within the Lavreotiki municipality, geographically separated from the commercial port of Lavrio. It features deep-water docks capable of accommodating large sailing and motor yachts throughout the year. The facility is protected from prevailing Aegean winds due to its orientation and proximity to the Makronisos island cluster.

Confirm your berthing reservation in advance if visiting during the peak summer sailing season.

Utilize the on-site maritime stores for specialized nautical supplies rather than searching in nearby towns.

Ensure you have proper identification for port authority checks if entering the secured dock areas.
