that was home to fishermen, shepherds and farmers. Its inner streets are now den- sely packed with apartment blocks, courtesy of the bu- ilding boom of the 1960s. Along the palm-lined prome- nade, children’s playgrou- nds, an open-air cinema and a luxurious marina genera- te the vibe of a year-round resort. Faliro is the gateway to the Athens Riviera and an easy launchpad to explo- re Piraeus and the city cen- tre. Restaurants and cafés adorn the attractive and gli- tzy Flisvos Marina, while Fa- liro’s beach and waterfront promenade provide for a qu- ick and scenic escape from urban life. Promenade Faliro’s seafront promena- de is one of the most scenic places to exercise in Athens. All day—and well into the evening—you’ll see joggers and cyclists, skateboarders and strollers, all enjoying the coastal aspect. Park benc- hes surround two giant out- door chess boards, where you can watch locals going head-to-head. The promena- de is also a popular starting point for cycling trips along the Athens Riviera. Cycle la- nes curve a route along the coastline, linking Faliro wi- th nearby Piraeus or, further south, to the glitzy Glyfada. Planetarium Don’t miss out on the Eu- genides Planetarium, whi- ch is visited by more than 200,000 people annually. It boasts a 950 square-metre dome on which it screens 3D virtual trips to the galaxy, as well as IMAX movies and other shows. Some of the screenings have been du- bbed into Greek, but you can buy headphones on site and watch the show in English.
