Revythousa

Island Small islet near Athens hosting major gas terminal

Revythousa islet in the Saronic Gulf hosts Greece’s liquefied natural gas terminal near Piraeus; it’s an industrial site rather than a public tourist destination, noted for its role in energy supply.

Revythousa is a small islet in the Saronic Gulf off the coast of Piraeus in the Attica region of Greece. It is chiefly known as the location of the country’s principal liquefied natural gas (LNG) import and regasification terminal.

The islet is entirely occupied by energy infrastructure and storage tanks, and it functions as an industrial facility rather than a visitor destination. Operations on Revythousa play a key role in Greece’s national gas supply and distribution network.

Because the site is operational and access is restricted, it is viewed from nearby coastal points around Piraeus and the Saronic shoreline. Its position is close to the main port approaches for Athens and to other industrial installations in the bay.

Restricted industrial site: The islet is an industrial, restricted site containing Greece's main LNG import and regasification facilities, so visitor access is not permitted.
Viewing from shore: Best public views of the installation are from coastal points around Piraeus and neighbouring suburbs rather than from the islet itself.

Tips for Visiting Revythousa #

Revythousa is an industrial islet with an LNG terminal and is not open to casual visitors - plan only to view it from the shoreline rather than attempting to land.
Best views come from the Piraeus/Perama shoreline or from ferries around Salamis; if you need closer access for professional reasons, contact port authorities well in advance for permission.
