The home ground of Olympiacos, Piraeus's storied football club, the Karaiskakis Stadium sits on the Neo Faliro waterfront a few stops east on the metro. Originally built for the 1896 Olympic Games as a velodrome, it was rebuilt as a football ground in the 1960s and again in 2004 ahead of the Athens Olympics.
Match days here are an experience — Olympiacos has won the Greek league more than any other club, and the red-and-white tide of fans is unlike anything else in Greek sport. Tickets are easy to get for most fixtures except derbies against Panathinaikos.
