For many years Syngrou Avenue has led travelers and locals from Athens to Faliron. The avenue follows the same route as the ancient street Faliriki Odos and connects the city of Athens to its commercial port, Faliron. At either side of the modern avenue are located two of Greece's most important cultural institutions: the Onassis Cultural Center and the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center. On this tour you will learn the long history of Greek shipping heritage and hear the success stories of Aristotle Onassis and Stavros Niarchos, the world famous shipping tycoons.
