Faliro Olympic Beach Volleyball Centre: Visitor Information

The Faliro Olympic Beach Volleyball Centre is the beach-volleyball venue within the Faliro Coastal Zone Olympic Complex. Opened in 2004, the outdoor facility hosted the men’s and women’s beach-volleyball competitions at the Summer Olympics that year.

The Olympic competition venue document identifies it as the complex’s beach-volleyball venue. The Olympic venue reference gives its Games capacity as 9,600.

There is no confirmed current event schedule for the centre. The Olympic Studies Centre describes it as having fallen into disuse after the Games and remaining closed and in disrepair, but that account does not establish its present condition.

For trip planning, treat the venue’s current use as unconfirmed rather than assuming it operates as a regular sports facility or visitor attraction.

Public opening hours, visitor-entry rules and ticket arrangements have not been confirmed. Before travelling, check the official site before you go and confirm that visitors can enter.

If you cannot confirm access, plan the venue as an exterior stop rather than expecting to enter the grounds. The centre’s Olympic history is clear, but it does not by itself indicate that the facility is open to the public now.

The centre is about 1.9 km from The Alex Monte Kastella Santikos Collection; the listed journey is about 10 minutes by car or 58 minutes on foot.

These are travel-time estimates, not official visitor directions. Public-transport routes, stop names and accessible transport arrangements for visitors to the centre have not been confirmed, so confirm your route and access before setting out.

Confirm whether the venue is open, whether entry is permitted and whether any event or ticket arrangements apply. Visitor accessibility information has not been confirmed, so contact the venue or relevant operator directly if you need details about accessible entry.

Because the centre’s public access and current use are unconfirmed, avoid relying on historical Olympic information as a guide to facilities or services available on arrival. The Eugenides Foundation New Digital Planetarium is another visitor attraction in Athens.
