Squares and Parks

Today the Municipality of Palaio Faliro has eleven squares:

The square of Ethnikis Antistaseos and the opposite green space, known as Flisvos, are now the most important point of Palaio Faliro. It is the former square of King George II, a triangular profile located along the coastal Poseidonos Avenue and is designated by the Poseidonos and Amphitrite streets. There are also sculptural compositions of G. Yiannakas dedicated by the Municipality of Palaio Faliro on the occasion of the Olympic Games.

Ikaron Square is a green space between Fix, Sirinon and Atlantos. It was named because in the opposite area to the sea – where the Naval Tradition Park is located – it used to be the Air Force’s first base of sailplanes and then the first Aviation Factory (KEA).

The Naval Tradition Park is located in Xirotagaros. There, the permanently docked Averof battleship functions as a naval museum. There is also a copy of an ancient trireme and the destroyer Velos. The Naval Tradition Park also hosts a large bronze statue,2.6 m., of admiral P. Kountouriotis (1855-1935), by the famous sculptor Memos Makris. the admiral later became the President of the Hellenic Republic twice in 1924 and 1929.
