A strategic location

Basimakopoulos Shipyard is located in Kilada, Ermionidas, in the Argolic Gulf — a well-protected area on the eastern Peloponnese with direct access to major cruising routes. The location makes the shipyard a practical stop for both local boat owners and international visitors, offering straightforward access from Athens and nearby ports.

Choosing the right location is as important as choosing the right yard. Our position in the Argolic Gulf combines accessibility, protection and proximity to sailing routes — supporting efficient planning and reduced downtime.
