About The Riviera: Flisvos to the SNFCC
Start among the yachts of Flisvos Marina and follow the seafront to the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center, home of the Greek National Opera and the National Library. Walk the long canal, then climb through the Stavros Niarchos Park to the Lighthouse on the roof for a view over the bay. Our advice: go in the late afternoon, then stay for an opera or a drink at the marina.
