Triakontoros
The trireme "Olympic Idea" was launched in 2002 at the port of Piraeus and set sail for Otranto in southern Italy and the Greek-speaking villages of the neighboring country. The "Olympic Idea" anchored at the "Hellenic Cosmos" in 2004 and has since then welcomed children who admired it – and in turn, it took them on journeys through mythical and historical worlds. Through the educational programs of the "Hellenic Cosmos," voyagers have traveled again from Jason and Odysseus to Vasco da Gama and Magellan.
