Trains, Planes, Ships and Cars: Athens for Kids Who Love Transport, 5 of 8: Hellenic Maritime Museum



The museum traces Greek seafaring from prehistoric times to today across more than 2,500 exhibits, from ship models and navigation instruments to naval paintings. One hall recreates a 19th-century boatyard showing how a wooden trechandiri was built.
Outside, kids can see the turret of the submarine Papanikolis and anchors from ships of the Battle of Navarino. Part of the ancient Konon walls sits at the entrance.
