A Historical Coastal Gem
Lipasmata Multifunctional Park, a vibrant destination for culture and recreation, can be found where one of the largest industrial plants for fertilisers and chemical products in Europe operated for nine decades. With over a million visitors annually, the site combines industrial heritage with the natural beauty of the Saronic Gulf.

The park offers a delightful 2.5-kilometre coastal path that is ideal for walking or cycling and offers views of the entrance to the port of Piraeus. Sports enthusiasts have access to free basketball, five-a-side football, tennis, and beach volleyball courts, as well as an outdoor gym. There are two modern playgrounds for children, and a specially designed dog park. Municipal kiosks offer refreshment stops next to the sea.

The park serves as a cultural attraction, hosting the renowned ‘Festival by the Sea’ during the summer. Visitors can discover the history of the area through QR codes that offer a hybrid tour of the iconic buildings. Furthermore, the ‘Workers’ Park’ podcast series brings to life the stories of the workers who shaped the area, while the park’s website offers virtual tours.
