The seafront of Eleusis has been designed for a pleasant walk to its most part. It is about 2km long and apart from the commercial port, it includes 4 marinas, one of which is exclusively for fishermen. On this route, we come across cafes- bars, recreational areas, fish taverns, children’s playground, an open air movie theatre, antiquities (Roman baths), a cinema club, sports grounds, Eleftherias Square and Aeschyleion Park, which honours the maritime past and the shipbuilding identity of Eleusis.
Eleusis belonged to the most important and holiest cities of ancient Greece. Its industrialization in the modern era changed its status significantly and caused its environmental degradation.
