Battleship - armored cruiser Geroergios Averof / Panzerkreuzer Georgios Averoff Trokadero Marina
Georgios Averof (Greek: Θ/Κ Γεώργιος Αβέρωφ) is a Greek warship which served as the flagship of the Royal Hellenic Navy during most of the first half of the 20th Century. Although popularly known as a battleship (θωρηκτό), it is in fact an armored cruiser (θωρακισμένο καταδρομικό), and the only such ship still in existence.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Greece decided to reinforce its fleet, whose ships were fast becoming obsolete due to the fast-moving naval arms race of the era. The authorities procured four destroyers (then a relatively new type of ship), but the most important addition was Averof. The vessel, belonging to the Pisa class, like her Italian sisters Amalfi and Pisa [1], was being built at Orlando Shipyards at Livorno in Italy, when the Italian government cancelled the third ship of the class due to budgetary concerns. The Greek government immediately stepped in and acquired the ship with a 1/3 down payment (ca. 300,000 gold pound sterling), paid with the help of a wealthy Greek benefactor, George Averoff, whose name she consequently received. The ship was fitted with an extraordinary combination of French engines, British artillery and German instrumentation.
[edit] The Averof today
In 1984, the Navy decided to restore her as a museum, and in the same year she was towed to Faliron Bay, where she is anchored to this day and functioning as a floating museum, seeking to promote the historical consolidation and upkeep of the Greek naval tradition. Free guided tours are provided to visiting schools and on holidays. She is anchored at the Trocadero quay, next to the Faliron Marina and the Resteion swimming pool and park.
The ship is regarded as in active service, carrying the Rear Admiral's Rank Flag a square blue flag with white cross, like the Greek jack, with two white stars in each of the two squares on the flagstaff side (see photo at right, also see[2] and[3]) on the top of the mainmast with the Masthead Pennant (a long triangular blue flag with a white orthogonal Greek cross) displaced downward. Every Hellenic Navy ship entering or sailing in Faliron Bay honours the Averof while passing. The crew are ordered to attention (with the "Still to" order) and from the relevant Boatswain's pipe (or bugle call) every man on decks stands to attention, officers saluting, looking to the side where the Averof is in sight until "Continue" is ordered (this link[4] is an mp3 sound recording of the order in Greek "Still to port side", the boatswain's pipe call and the order "Continue").

Ten years after the Greek -- Turkish War of 1897, the Hellenic Navy had only antiquated torpedo -- ships and three battleships, manufactured in 1889.
The need to create an effective fleet resulted at the end of 1908 in its reinforcement. Four brand new English and four German destroyers (torpedo -- ships) were aquired. In adittion, the Battleship "G. Averoff", the pride of the Hellenic Navy, joined the fleet.
For the resuscitation of the fleet, the re-elected government of Mavromichalis approached the Orlando Shipyards, at Livorno, Italy, where at the time, a battleship was under construction. It had been ordered and then cancelled by the Italian Navy. The Greeks offered to advance one third of its total cost and thus ,secured the acquisition of the battleship. The amount given in advance came from George Averoff' s will and the rest of the cost was covered by a loan from abroad. George Averoff had been a wealthy Greek patriot and benefactor.He had willed funds for the Greek Navy to acquire a training ship for the Greek Naval Academy.
The 10.200 tn, steel plated warship had Italian engines of 19.000 hp, 22 French boilers, German generators and English Armstrong type cannons of 190 and 234 millimeters. Its top speed was 23 knots. "G. Averoff" was launched on the 27 th February 1910. It arrived at Faliro Bay on the 1 st of September 1911, where the Greeks welcomed it with enthusiasm.
The battleship, with the beginning of the First Balkan War in October of 1912, was at the head of the Aegean Fleet, under the command of Rear Admiral Paylos Kontouriotis and set sail to Dardanelles. It took over Limnos where the anchorage of the fleet was established in Moudros bay. After that, the liberation of Aghio Oros and the East and North Aegean islands (Thasos, Samothraki, Tenedos, Aghios Eustratios, Mitilini, Chios) took place .
An engagement with the Turkish fleet was inevitable. Rear Admiral Kountouriotis' plan favoured a battle offensive. On December 3th 1912 , he ordered the fleet to sail towards the Ottoman fleet that had made its appearance at the exit of the Dardanelles. Kountouriotis dispatched his famous signal to the Greek ships which were led by "G. Averoff". "By the power of God and the wishes of our King and in the name of justice, I sail towards the victory against the enemy of the Nation."
The successful result of the battles of Elli and Limnos that followed, discouraged the Sultan and the Sublime Porte's expectations of controlling the Aegean Sea. The Ottoman Fleet would never attempt another exit to the Aegean.
Greece remained neutral during most of World War I. The Eleutherios Venizelos government in 1917 decided to participate on the Allies' side. At the end of the first World War in November 1918 -- Turkey capitulated (Moudros truce) and Greece was on the winners' side. "G.Averoff" sailed to Constantinople and raised the Greek flag as one of the winning powers of the Great War. After, the signing of the peace treaties, "G.Averoff" with the rest of the fleet moved the Greek troops to Asia Minor..
In 1941 after the start of World War II, the Greek fleet had moved to Alexandria with "G.Averoff" at the lead. From Alexandria, the battleship was dispatched to Bombay to patrol the Indian Ocean. At the end of the war 'G.Averoff" anchored with the rest of the fleet at Faliro (17 Oct.1944) having brought back the Greek government from its exile in Cairo.
In 1952'G. Averoff' was decommissioned. From 1956 until 1983, the battleship was moved to Poros. In 1984, the Navy decided to restore it as a museum. Thirty years after being set aside, the battleship was on a new course. The ship was moved from Poros to its present location at P.Faliro, where the restoration took place.
The cost for the stabilization and the restoration from 1985 until today is vety large. A large percentage of it comes from donations, the most important of which are those of the Cyprus Democracy, the Latsis family and the Onasis foundation.
Today the "G. Averoff " battleship museum honors those who served and died during its time of active service. It also keeps alive a sense of the Greek Navy's heritage. The battleship serves its educational purposes by hosting day visits from schools, institutions, organizations and private individuals. Those visits fulfil the second part of the donors' , George Averoff's, vision who wished the ship to fulfill an educational purpose.

27/10/2009 - Athens (Greece) - Panathinaiko Stadium
The Panathinaiko or Panathenaic Stadium (Greek: Παναθηναϊκό στάδιο), also known as the Kallimarmaro (Καλλιμάρμαρο, i.e. the "beautifully marbled") in Athens is the only major stadium in the world built entirely of white marble (from Mount Penteli).
In ancient times it was used to host the athletic portion of the Panathenaic Games in honour of the Goddess Athena. During classical times the stadium had wooden seating. It was remade in marble by the archon Lycurgus in 329 BC and was enlarged and renovated by Herodes Atticus in 140 AD, to a seated capacity of 50,000. The remnants of the ancient structure were excavated and refurbished, with funds provided by Evangelis Zappas for the revival of the Olympic Games. Evangelis Zappas sponsored the "Zappas Olympics", that were held there in 1870 and 1875. The stadium was refurbished a second time in 1895 for the 1896 Olympics, with completion funding provided by the Greek benefactor George Averoff (whose marble statue now stands at the entrance), based on designs by architects Anastasios Metaxas and Ernst Ziller. The stadium was built long before dimensions for athletics venues were standardized and its track and layout follow the ancient hairpin-like model. It could seat about 80,000 spectators on 50 rows of marble steps and currently holds 45,000 spectators.

The Panathenaic Stadium (Greek: Παναθηναϊκό στάδιο), also known as the Kallimármaro (Καλλιμάρμαρο, meaning the "beautifully marbled"), is a multi-purpose stadium used for several events and athletics in Athens. The Stadium hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. Reconstructed from the remains of an ancient Greek stadium, the Panathenaic is the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble (from Mount Penteli) and is one of the oldest in the world.
In ancient times, the stadium on this site was used to host the athletic portion of the Panathenaic Games, in honor of the Goddess Athena. During classical times, it had wooden seating. In 329 BCE it was rebuilt in marble by the archon Lycurgus and in 140 CE was enlarged and renovated by Herodes Atticus, giving a seated capacity of 50,000.[citation needed]
The remnants of the ancient structure were excavated and refurbished, with funds provided by Evangelos Zappas, for the revival of the Olympic Games. Zappas sponsored the Olympic Games that were held there in 1870 and 1875.
In 1895, the stadium was refurbished a second time for the 1896 Olympics, with completion funding provided by the Greek benefactor George Averoff, whose marble statue now stands at the entrance, based on designs by the architects Anastasios Metaxas and Ernst Ziller.
Το Παναθηναϊκό Στάδιο γνωστό και ως Καλλιμάρμαρο είναι στάδιο στην Αθήνα που βρίσκεται ανατολικά του Ζαππείου και βόρεια του λόφου του Αρδηττού, δια των οποίων διέρχεται ο Ιλισός ποταμός.
Στην αρχαιότητα χρησιμοποιούνταν για την τέλεση μέρους των Παναθηναίων προς τιμήν της θεάς Αθηνάς. Κτισμένο ανάμεσα στους λόφους του Άγρα και Αρδηττού, το 329 π.Χ., επί Λυκούργου, το στάδιο ορθομαρμαρώθηκε, καθώς μέχρι τότε τα καθίσματα ήταν ξύλινα. Το 140 μ.Χ. επί Ηρώδη του Αττικού έγινε μια μεγάλης κλίμακας ανακαίνιση καθώς και αύξηση της χωρητικότητάς του στις 50.000 θέσεις. Σε άγνωστους χρόνους του Μεσαίωνα είχε απογυμνωθεί τελείως από τα μάρμαρά του, όπως και τα πλείστα αρχαία κτίρια της Αθήνας. Όταν ο Βασιλιάς Όθων κήρυξε την Αθήνα πρωτεύουσα του Ελληνικού Βασιλείου στο «καλλιμάρμαρο», μόνο οι δύο κρηπιδότοιχοι των μετώπων δεξιά και αριστερά της εισόδου απέμεναν ως εμφανή ερείπια του άλλοτε σταδίου.

George Averoff
George M. Averoff (15 August 1815, Metsovo – 15 July 1899, al-Raml/Ramleh, Alexandria), alternately Georgios Averof (in Greek: Γεώργιος Αβέρωφ), was a Greek businessman and philanthropist. He is one of the great national benefactors of Greece. Born in the town of Metsovo (Epirus, Greece, then Ottoman Empire) Averoff moved to Alexandria while still young. He was known through most of his life for founding numerous schools in both Egypt and Greece.
Biography
George Averoff was of Aromanian origin. He moved to Cairo, Egypt, in 1837 to work in his brother, Anastasios’s, shop. Thanks to his bold tactics and business activities he became the biggest merchant in Egypt. At the same time he got involved in the banking business, the real estate business (buying and leasing land) while with his many riverboats traveling up and down the Nile he managed to dominate Egypt’s domestic and foreign trade. His business activities resulted in the accumulation of vast wealth which he used to donate to charity and common good purposes. His multilevel charity work includes significant donations for the development of educational and other infrastructure projects to the Greek community of Alexandria, Metsovo, Athens and the Greek state in general. Among them, the most notable ones are the founding of the School of Agriculture in Larisa, the construction of the Evelpidon Military Academy, the donation to the Athens Conservatory, the donation for the refurbishment of the Panathenian Stadium, where the first modern Olympic Games were held, the completion of the National Technical University of Athens and the donation for building the namesake flaghip of the Greek Navy.

Battleship - armored cruiser Geroergios Averof / Panzerkreuzer Georgios Averoff Trokadero Marina Georgios Averof (Greek: Θ/Κ Γεώργιος Αβέρωφ) is a Greek warship which served as the flagship of the Royal Hellenic Navy during most of the first half of the 20th Century. Although popularly known as a battleship (θωρηκτό), it is in fact an armored cruiser (θωρακισμένο καταδρομικό), and the only such ship still in existence. At the beginning of the 20th century, Greece decided to reinforce its fleet, whose ships were fast becoming obsolete due to the fast-moving naval arms race of the era. The authorities procured four destroyers (then a relatively new type of ship), but the most important addition was Averof. The vessel, belonging to the Pisa class, like her Italian sisters Amalfi and Pisa [1], was being built at Orlando Shipyards at Livorno in Italy, when the Italian government cancelled the third ship of the class due to budgetary concerns. The Greek government immediately stepped in and acquired the ship with a 1/3 down payment (ca. 300,000 gold pound sterling), paid with the help of a wealthy Greek benefactor, George Averoff, whose name she consequently received. The ship was fitted with an extraordinary combination of French engines, British artillery and German instrumentation.

Thorikto AverofThorikto Averof
Ten years after the Greek -- Turkish War of 1897, the Hellenic Navy had only antiquated torpedo -- ships and three battleships, manufactured in 1889. The need to create an effective fleet resulted at the end of 1908 in its reinforcement. Four brand new English and four German destroyers (torpedo -- ships) were aquired. In adittion, the Battleship "G. Averoff", the pride of the Hellenic Navy, joined the fleet. For the resuscitation of the fleet, the re-elected government of Mavromichalis approached the Orlando Shipyards, at Livorno, Italy, where at the time, a battleship was under construction. It had been ordered and then cancelled by the Italian Navy. The Greeks offered to advance one third of its total cost and thus ,secured the acquisition of the battleship. The amount given in advance came from George Averoff' s will and the rest of the cost was covered by a loan from abroad. George Averoff had been a wealthy Greek patriot and benefactor.He had willed funds for the Greek Navy to acquire a training ship for the Greek Naval Academy. The 10.200 tn, steel plated warship had Italian engines of 19.000 hp, 22 French boilers, German generators and English Armstrong type cannons of 190 and 234 millimeters. Its top speed was 23 knots. "G. Averoff" was launched on the 27 th February 1910. It arrived at Faliro Bay on the 1 st of September 1911, where the Greeks welcomed it with enthusiasm. The battleship, with the beginning of the First Balkan War in October of 1912, was at the head of the Aegean Fleet, under the command of Rear Admiral Paylos Kontouriotis and set sail to Dardanelles. It took over Limnos where the anchorage of the fleet was established in Moudros bay. After that, the liberation of Aghio Oros and the East and North Aegean islands (Thasos, Samothraki, Tenedos, Aghios Eustratios, Mitilini, Chios) took place . An engagement with the Turkish fleet was inevitable. Rear Admiral Kountouriotis' plan favoured a battle offensive. On December 3th 1912 , he ordered the fleet to sail towards the Ottoman fleet that had made its appearance at the exit of the Dardanelles. Kountouriotis dispatched his famous signal to the Greek ships which were led by "G. Averoff". "By the power of God and the wishes of our King and in the name of justice, I sail towards the victory against the enemy of the Nation." The successful result of the battles of Elli and Limnos that followed, discouraged the Sultan and the Sublime Porte's expectations of controlling the Aegean Sea. The Ottoman Fleet would never attempt another exit to the Aegean. Greece remained neutral during most of World War I. The Eleutherios Venizelos government in 1917 decided to participate on the Allies' side. At the end of the first World War in November 1918 -- Turkey capitulated (Moudros truce) and Greece was on the winners' side. "G.Averoff" sailed to Constantinople and raised the Greek flag as one of the winning powers of the Great War. After, the signing of the peace treaties, "G.Averoff" with the rest of the fleet moved the Greek troops to Asia Minor.. In 1941 after the start of World War II, the Greek fleet had moved to Alexandria with "G.Averoff" at the lead. From Alexandria, the battleship was dispatched to Bombay to patrol the Indian Ocean. At the end of the war 'G.Averoff" anchored with the rest of the fleet at Faliro (17 Oct.1944) having brought back the Greek government from its exile in Cairo. In 1952'G. Averoff' was decommissioned. From 1956 until 1983, the battleship was moved to Poros. In 1984, the Navy decided to restore it as a museum. Thirty years after being set aside, the battleship was on a new course. The ship was moved from Poros to its present location at P.Faliro, where the restoration took place. The cost for the stabilization and the restoration from 1985 until today is vety large. A large percentage of it comes from donations, the most important of which are those of the Cyprus Democracy, the Latsis family and the Onasis foundation. Today the "G. Averoff " battleship museum honors those who served and died during its time of active service. It also keeps alive a sense of the Greek Navy's heritage. The battleship serves its educational purposes by hosting day visits from schools, institutions, organizations and private individuals. Those visits fulfil the second part of the donors' , George Averoff's, vision who wished the ship to fulfill an educational purpose. -

In ancient times it was used to host the athletic portion of the Panathenaic Games in honour of the Goddess Athena. During classical times the stadium had wooden seating. It was remade in marble by the archon Lycurgus in 329 BC and was enlarged and renovated by Herodes Atticus in 140 AD, to a seated capacity of 50,000. The remnants of the ancient structure were excavated and refurbished, with funds provided by Evangelis Zappas for the revival of the Olympic Games. Evangelis Zappas sponsored the "Zappas Olympics", that were held there in 1870 and 1875. The stadium was refurbished a second time in 1895 for the 1896 Olympics, with completion funding provided by the Greek benefactor George Averoff (whose marble statue now stands at the entrance), based on designs by architects Anastasios Metaxas and Ernst Ziller.

The Panathenaic Stadium (Greek: Παναθηναϊκό στάδιο), also known as the Kallimármaro (Καλλιμάρμαρο, meaning the "beautifully marbled"), is a multi-purpose stadium used for several events and athletics in Athens. The Stadium hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. Reconstructed from the remains of an ancient Greek stadium, the Panathenaic is the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble (from Mount Penteli) and is one of the oldest in the world. In ancient times, the stadium on this site was used to host the athletic portion of the Panathenaic Games, in honor of the Goddess Athena. During classical times, it had wooden seating. In 329 BCE it was rebuilt in marble by the archon Lycurgus and in 140 CE was enlarged and renovated by Herodes Atticus, giving a seated capacity of 50,000.[citation needed] The remnants of the ancient structure were excavated and refurbished, with funds provided by Evangelos Zappas, for the revival of the Olympic Games. Zappas sponsored the Olympic Games that were held there in 1870 and 1875. In 1895, the stadium was refurbished a second time for the 1896 Olympics, with completion funding provided by the Greek benefactor George Averoff, whose marble statue now stands at the entrance, based on designs by the architects Anastasios Metaxas and Ernst Ziller. Το Παναθηναϊκό Στάδιο γνωστό και ως Καλλιμάρμαρο είναι στάδιο στην Αθήνα που βρίσκεται ανατολικά του Ζαππείου και βόρεια του λόφου του Αρδηττού, δια των οποίων διέρχεται ο Ιλισός ποταμός. Στην αρχαιότητα χρησιμοποιούνταν για την τέλεση μέρους των Παναθηναίων προς τιμήν της θεάς Αθηνάς. Κτισμένο ανάμεσα στους λόφους του Άγρα και Αρδηττού, το 329 π.Χ., επί Λυκούργου, το στάδιο ορθομαρμαρώθηκε, καθώς μέχρι τότε τα καθίσματα ήταν ξύλινα. Το 140 μ.Χ. επί Ηρώδη του Αττικού έγινε μια μεγάλης κλίμακας ανακαίνιση καθώς και αύξηση της χωρητικότητάς του στις 50.000 θέσεις. Σε άγνωστους χρόνους του Μεσαίωνα είχε απογυμνωθεί τελείως από τα μάρμαρά του, όπως και τα πλείστα αρχαία κτίρια της Αθήνας. Όταν ο Βασιλιάς Όθων κήρυξε την Αθήνα πρωτεύουσα του Ελληνικού Βασιλείου στο «καλλιμάρμαρο», μόνο οι δύο κρηπιδότοιχοι των μετώπων δεξιά και αριστερά της εισόδου απέμεναν ως εμφανή ερείπια του άλλοτε σταδίου. -

The vessel, belonging to the Pisa class, like her Italian sisters Amalfi and Pisa [1], was being built at Orlando Shipyards at Livorno in Italy, when the Italian government cancelled the third ship of the class due to budgetary concerns. The Greek government immediately stepped in and acquired the ship with a 1/3 down payment (ca. 300,000 gold pound sterling), paid with the help of a wealthy Greek benefactor, George Averoff, whose name she consequently received. The ship was fitted with an extraordinary combination of French engines, British artillery and German instrumentation.
[edit] The Averof today
In 1984, the Navy decided to restore her as a museum, and in the same year she was towed to Faliron Bay, where she is anchored to this day and functioning as a floating museum, seeking to promote the historical consolidation and upkeep of the Greek naval tradition. Free guided tours are provided to visiting schools and on holidays. She is anchored at the Trocadero quay, next to the Faliron Marina and the Resteion swimming pool and park.
The ship is regarded as in active service, carrying the Rear Admiral's Rank Flag a square blue flag with white cross, like the Greek jack, with two white stars in each of the two squares on the flagstaff side (see photo at right, also see[2] and[3]) on the top of the mainmast with the Masthead Pennant (a long triangular blue flag with a white orthogonal Greek cross) displaced downward. Every Hellenic Navy ship entering or sailing in Faliron Bay honours the Averof while passing. The crew are ordered to attention (with the "Still to" order) and from the relevant Boatswain's pipe (or bugle call) every man on decks stands to attention, officers saluting, looking to the side where the Averof is in sight until "Continue" is ordered (this link[4] is an mp3 sound recording of the order in Greek "Still to port side", the boatswain's pipe call and the order "Continue").

The ship was fitted with an extraordinary combination of French engines, British artillery and German instrumentation.

The ship is regarded as in active service, carrying the Rear Admiral's Rank Flag a square blue flag with white cross, like the Greek jack, with two white stars in each of the two squares on the flagstaff side (see photo at right, also see[2] and[3]) on the top of the mainmast with the Masthead Pennant (a long triangular blue flag with a white orthogonal Greek cross) displaced downward. Every Hellenic Navy ship entering or sailing in Faliron Bay honours the Averof while passing. The crew are ordered to attention (with the "Still to" order) and from the relevant Boatswain's pipe (or bugle call) every man on decks stands to attention, officers saluting, looking to the side where the Averof is in sight until "Continue" is ordered (this link[4] is an mp3 sound recording of the order in Greek "Still to port side", the boatswain's pipe call and the order "Continue").

Battleship - armored cruiser Geroergios Averof / Panzerkreuzer Georgios Averoff Trokadero Marina
Georgios Averof (Greek: Θ/Κ Γεώργιος Αβέρωφ) is a Greek warship which served as the flagship of the Royal Hellenic Navy during most of the first half of the 20th Century. Although popularly known as a battleship (θωρηκτό), it is in fact an armored cruiser (θωρακισμένο καταδρομικό), and the only such ship still in existence.
At the beginning of the 20th century, Greece decided to reinforce its fleet, whose ships were fast becoming obsolete due to the fast-moving naval arms race of the era. The authorities procured four destroyers (then a relatively new type of ship), but the most important addition was Averof. The vessel, belonging to the Pisa class, like her Italian sisters Amalfi and Pisa [1], was being built at Orlando Shipyards at Livorno in Italy, when the Italian government cancelled the third ship of the class due to budgetary concerns. The Greek government immediately stepped in and acquired the ship with a 1/3 down payment (ca. 300,000 gold pound sterling), paid with the help of a wealthy Greek benefactor, George Averoff, whose name she consequently received.

The need ...
Ten years after the Greek -- Turkish War of 1897, the Hellenic Navy had only antiquated torpedo -- ships and three battleships, manufactured in 1889.
The need to create an effective fleet resulted at the end of 1908 in its reinforcement. Four brand new English and four German destroyers (torpedo -- ships) were aquired. In adittion, the Battleship "G. Averoff", the pride of the Hellenic Navy, joined the fleet.
For the resuscitation of the fleet, the re-elected government of Mavromichalis approached the Orlando Shipyards, at Livorno, Italy, where at the time, a battleship was under construction. It had been ordered and then cancelled by the Italian Navy. The Greeks offered to advance one third of its total cost and thus ,secured the acquisition of the battleship. The amount given in advance came from George Averoff' s will and the rest of the cost was covered by a loan from abroad. George Averoff had been a wealthy Greek patriot and benefactor.He had willed funds for the Greek Navy to acquire a training ship for the Greek Naval Academy.
The 10.200 tn, steel plated warship had Italian engines of 19.000 hp, 22 French boilers, German generators and English Armstrong type cannons of 190 and 234 millimeters. Its top speed was 23 knots. "G. Averoff" was launched on the 27 th February 1910. It arrived at Faliro Bay on the 1 st of September 1911, where the Greeks welcomed it with enthusiasm.
The battleship, with the beginning of the First Balkan War in October of 1912, was at the head of the Aegean Fleet, under the command of Rear Admiral Paylos Kontouriotis and set sail to Dardanelles. It took over Limnos where the anchorage of the fleet was established in Moudros bay. After that, the liberation of Aghio Oros and the East and North Aegean islands (Thasos, Samothraki, Tenedos, Aghios Eustratios, Mitilini, Chios) took place .
An engagement with the Turkish fleet was inevitable. Rear Admiral Kountouriotis' plan favoured a battle offensive. On December 3th 1912 , he ordered the fleet to sail towards the Ottoman fleet that had made its appearance at the exit of the Dardanelles. Kountouriotis dispatched his famous signal to the Greek ships which were led by "G. Averoff". "By the power of God and the wishes of our King and in the name of justice, I sail towards the victory against the enemy of the Nation."
The successful result of the battles of Elli and Limnos that followed, discouraged the Sultan and the Sublime Porte's expectations of controlling the Aegean Sea. The Ottoman Fleet would never attempt another exit to the Aegean.
Greece remained neutral during most of World War I. The Eleutherios Venizelos government in 1917 decided to participate on the Allies' side. At the end of the first World War in November 1918 -- Turkey capitulated (Moudros truce) and Greece was on the winners' side. "G.Averoff" sailed to Constantinople and raised the Greek flag as one of the winning powers of the Great War. After, the signing of the peace treaties, "G.Averoff" with the rest of the fleet moved the Greek troops to Asia Minor..
In 1941 after the start of World War II, the Greek fleet had moved to Alexandria with "G.Averoff" at the lead. From Alexandria, the battleship was dispatched to Bombay to patrol the Indian Ocean. At the end of the war 'G.Averoff" anchored with the rest of the fleet at Faliro (17 Oct.1944) having brought back the Greek government from its exile in Cairo.
In 1952'G. Averoff' was decommissioned. From 1956 until 1983, the battleship was moved to Poros. In 1984, the Navy decided to restore it as a museum. Thirty years after being set aside, the battleship was on a new course. The ship was moved from Poros to its present location at P.Faliro, where the restoration took place.
The cost for the stabilization and the restoration from 1985 until today is vety large. A large percentage of it comes from donations, the most important of which are those of the Cyprus Democracy, the Latsis family and the Onasis foundation.
Today the "G. Averoff " battleship museum honors those who served and died during its time of active service. It also keeps alive a sense of the Greek Navy's heritage. The battleship serves its educational purposes by hosting day visits from schools, institutions, organizations and private individuals. Those visits fulfil the second part of the donors' , George Averoff's, vision who wished the ship to fulfill an educational purpose.

Foi construído em 566 a.C. e reconstruído em 329 a.C., em mármore. Em 1870 suas ruínas foram restauradas. Em 1895 foi reformado para a realização dos primeiros Jogos Olímpicos da era moderna em Atenas 1896, sobre os planos dos arquitetos Anastasios Metaxas e Ernst Ziller e financiado por George Averoff. Sua pista tem forma de U e suas arquibancadas tem capacidade para 80.000 espectadores sentados.

27/10/2009 - Athens (Greece) - Panathinaiko Stadium
The Panathinaiko or Panathenaic Stadium (Greek: Παναθηναϊκό στάδιο), also known as the Kallimarmaro (Καλλιμάρμαρο, i.e. the "beautifully marbled") in Athens is the only major stadium in the world built entirely of white marble (from Mount Penteli).
In ancient times it was used to host the athletic portion of the Panathenaic Games in honour of the Goddess Athena. During classical times the stadium had wooden seating. It was remade in marble by the archon Lycurgus in 329 BC and was enlarged and renovated by Herodes Atticus in 140 AD, to a seated capacity of 50,000. The remnants of the ancient structure were excavated and refurbished, with funds provided by Evangelis Zappas for the revival of the Olympic Games. Evangelis Zappas sponsored the "Zappas Olympics", that were held there in 1870 and 1875. The stadium was refurbished a second time in 1895 for the 1896 Olympics, with completion funding provided by the Greek benefactor George Averoff (whose marble statue now stands at the entrance), based on designs by architects Anastasios Metaxas and Ernst Ziller. The stadium was built long before dimensions for athletics venues were standardized and its track and layout follow the ancient hairpin-like model.

27/10/2009 - Athens (Greece) - Panathinaiko Stadium
The Panathinaiko or Panathenaic Stadium (Greek: Παναθηναϊκό στάδιο), also known as the Kallimarmaro (Καλλιμάρμαρο, i.e. the "beautifully marbled") in Athens is the only major stadium in the world built entirely of white marble (from Mount Penteli).
In ancient times it was used to host the athletic portion of the Panathenaic Games in honour of the Goddess Athena. During classical times the stadium had wooden seating. It was remade in marble by the archon Lycurgus in 329 BC and was enlarged and renovated by Herodes Atticus in 140 AD, to a seated capacity of 50,000. The remnants of the ancient structure were excavated and refurbished, with funds provided by Evangelis Zappas for the revival of the Olympic Games. Evangelis Zappas sponsored the "Zappas Olympics", that were held there in 1870 and 1875. The stadium was refurbished a second time in 1895 for the 1896 Olympics, with completion funding provided by the Greek benefactor George Averoff (whose marble statue now stands at the entrance), based on designs by architects Anastasios Metaxas and Ernst Ziller. The stadium was built long before dimensions for athletics venues were standardized and its track and layout follow the ancient hairpin-like model. It could seat about 80,000 spectators on 50 rows of marble steps and currently holds 45,000 spectators.

The Panathenaic Stadium (Greek: Παναθηναϊκό στάδιο), also known as the Kallimármaro (Καλλιμάρμαρο, meaning the "beautifully marbled"), is a multi-purpose stadium used for several events and athletics in Athens. The Stadium hosted the first modern Olympic Games in 1896. Reconstructed from the remains of an ancient Greek stadium, the Panathenaic is the only stadium in the world built entirely of marble (from Mount Penteli) and is one of the oldest in the world.
In ancient times, the stadium on this site was used to host the athletic portion of the Panathenaic Games, in honor of the Goddess Athena. During classical times, it had wooden seating. In 329 BCE it was rebuilt in marble by the archon Lycurgus and in 140 CE was enlarged and renovated by Herodes Atticus, giving a seated capacity of 50,000.[citation needed]
The remnants of the ancient structure were excavated and refurbished, with funds provided by Evangelos Zappas, for the revival of the Olympic Games. Zappas sponsored the Olympic Games that were held there in 1870 and 1875.
In 1895, the stadium was refurbished a second time for the 1896 Olympics, with completion funding provided by the Greek benefactor George Averoff, whose marble statue now stands at the entrance, based on designs by the architects Anastasios Metaxas and Ernst Ziller.
Το Παναθηναϊκό Στάδιο γνωστό και ως Καλλιμάρμαρο είναι στάδιο στην Αθήνα που βρίσκεται ανατολικά του Ζαππείου και βόρεια του λόφου του Αρδηττού, δια των οποίων διέρχεται ο Ιλισός ποταμός.
Στην αρχαιότητα χρησιμοποιούνταν για την τέλεση μέρους των Παναθηναίων προς τιμήν της θεάς Αθηνάς. Κτισμένο ανάμεσα στους λόφους του Άγρα και Αρδηττού, το 329 π.Χ., επί Λυκούργου, το στάδιο ορθομαρμαρώθηκε, καθώς μέχρι τότε τα καθίσματα ήταν ξύλινα. Το 140 μ.Χ. επί Ηρώδη του Αττικού έγινε μια μεγάλης κλίμακας ανακαίνιση καθώς και αύξηση της χωρητικότητάς του στις 50.000 θέσεις. Σε άγνωστους χρόνους του Μεσαίωνα είχε απογυμνωθεί τελείως από τα μάρμαρά του, όπως και τα πλείστα αρχαία κτίρια της Αθήνας. Όταν ο Βασιλιάς Όθων κήρυξε την Αθήνα πρωτεύουσα του Ελληνικού Βασιλείου στο «καλλιμάρμαρο», μόνο οι δύο κρηπιδότοιχοι των μετώπων δεξιά και αριστερά της εισόδου απέμεναν ως εμφανή ερείπια του άλλοτε σταδίου.

1896 Summer Olympics
The 1896 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the I Olympiad, was a multi-sport event held in Athens, Greece, from 6 to 15 April 1896. It was the first international Olympic Games held in the Modern era. Because Ancient Greece was the birthplace of the Olympic Games, Athens was considered to be an appropriate choice to stage the inaugural modern Games. It was unanimously chosen as the host city during a congress organised by Pierre de Coubertin, a French pedagogue and historian, in Paris, on 23 June 1894. The International Olympic Committee was also instituted during this congress. This video targeted to blind users.

Constantine forced Venizelos to resign twice, but in 1917 he left Greece, after threats of the Entente forces to bombard Athens; his second son, Alexander, became king. After Alexander's death, Venizelos' defeat in the 1920 legislative elections, and a plebiscite in favor of his return, Constantine was reinstated. He abdicated the throne for the second and last time in 1922, when Greece lost the Greco-Turkish War of 1919-1922, and was succeeded by his eldest son, George II. Constantine died in exile four months later, in Sicily.
