History overview of Lavrion (HDM Sailing)

Description of Lavrion (HDM Sailing)

Yacht charter from Lavrion with HDM Sailing

The port Lavrion is only about 30 km from Athens' international airport “Eleftherios Venizelos” and is therefore quicker to get to than the yacht harbours in Athens. The Cyclades Islands are practically right at your doorstep and are only a few nautical miles away. The good location is certainly one reason why HDM Sailing is operating a yacht charter base from here.

Since 1994, Lavrion has realised the location's tourist value and since then the town has been making an effort to meet the standards of the neighbouring towns and villages, which are clearly more affluent. Nowadays, the municipality looks very different. In the town centre, around the fish market, the streets are now paved with large cobblestones which makes the town look really pretty. There are many small cafés and cosy taverns between the small park and the main street. Lavrion today has definitely become a more attractive place.

The large harbour basin is a ferry port, a commercial harbour, a fishing port and yacht harbour all at the same time. Electricity and water is available. There are no sanitary facilities. HDM Sailing has set up usable containers with WCs and showers.

Where to buy provisioning in Lavrion?

The shopping amenities around the harbour are quite good. Not far away from the HDM Sailing pier are a number of smaller and medium-sized supermarkets, some of which will also deliver to the yachts. There are also a few bakeries and butcher's shops as well as a fish market where you can buy fresh fish everyday. The HDM Sailing team will gladly show you the fish market.

Tavernas in the near of HDM Sailing

There are several more or less good restaurants and taverns right in front of the yacht harbour. Around the fish market are various cafés and taverns, which the locals also like to visit. If you are in a hurry to eat, you will also find good fast food places in the town centre as well as next to the building complex near the harbour.

Visitors should definitely take the time to explore the new town centre. Not really a great highlight, but it is obvious that they are making an effort to attract more tourists.
