The Greek Navy announced that the trireme “Olympias” – a full-scale working reconstruction of an ancient Athenian battleship – will sail the waters of the Saronic Gulf once again this July and September, rowed by crews of ordinary citizens aged between 15 and 75 years old.
Each trip will also carry a limited number of passengers – aged under 15 and over 75 – that will be able to board the vessel without manning the oars while, in order to help cover the maintenance costs of the trireme, each rower will be charged a ticket of three euros while those under 15 and over 75 can board the vessel for free.
