Skipper’s On The road
A Bar in Palaio Faliro

There are places that are not just establishments — they are chapters in a city’s life.
For more than three decades, Skipper’s has been one of them: a café, a bar, a sanctuary of emotions and stories that helped shape the spirit of Athens’ coastline.

About Us

The Story of Skipper’s

From the Waves of Alimos to the Heart of Palaio Faliro
Some places aren’t just venues — they’re chapters in the life of a city.

For over three and a half decades, Skipper’s was one of those places: a bar, a café, and a gathering point that shaped the soul of Athens’ southern coast. From its modest beginnings in September 1987 at the Alimos Marina to its vibrant rebirth in September 2025 as Skipper’s on the Road in Palaio Faliro, this is a story about endurance, passion, and an unbroken connection to the sea.

“We didn’t use architects,” he says. “Everything was built by hand, with friends, with passion. We wanted people to step inside and feel like they were aboard a ship.”

A Toast to the Sea, to Friendship, to 35 Unforgettable Years.

From our first voyage to our latest adventure, Skipper’s on the Road has been serving hearty meals, coastal flavours, and memories that linger long after the tide rolls out. Join us for seafood, stories, and smiles by the shore.

“We didn’t want to create something new, We wanted to bring our old heart into a new home.”
