Stavros S Niarchos is a British brig-rigged tall ship owned and operated by the Tall Ships Youth Trust (TSYT). She is primarily designed to provide young people with the opportunity to undertake voyages as character-building exercises, rather than pure sail-training. She is also used for adult voyages and holidays, which help subsidise the operation of the ship.
In the late 1990s the two schooners (Malcolm Miller and Sir Winston Churchill) then owned by the Tall Ships Youth Trust (then called the Sail Training Association (STA)) were showing their age and becoming increasingly expensive to maintain. These two schooners are currently[when?] used as super yachts. The hulls for the two new brigs (Stavros S Niarchos and her sister ship, Prince William) were obtained half-completed from another project in Germany. These were transported to Appledore Ship Yards in Devon, where they were modified to the TSYT's requirements, and fitted out. She was completed in January 2000. The rig was designed by Michael Willoughby, who wrote a few comments on the overall design of the brigs

Beneath the earth is the building that houses the Library and the Opera, making the hill the green roof for the structure.
Stavros, which means Cross in Greek. It is the name of the hill which rises over the town of Kavala at a 350 metres height. It was named after the huge cement cross that is located at the top of it.
It was built in 1953, inspired by the army officer Athanasios Daskarolis who had taken part in the Korean war. He was inspired by similar crosses which were put on mountain tops of Korea by the Americans. After he had asked for permission, engineer soldiers undertook its construction.
Since then, the white cross has been a reference point of the town and can be seen from almost every point of it. During the 1990s decade it was illuminated, so as to be visible at night as well.
Visitors should follow the bright paved path which leads to the Stavros, through impressive geological formations that reach up to the St.Panteleimonas chapel, where the path that reaches the top of the Stavros begins.
The view from there down to the city is panoramic and breath-taking!

The Stavros S Niarchos is a British brig-rigged tall ship owned and operated by the Tall Ships Youth Trust. Anchored in Falmouth, Cornwall.
Took this image at Stavros, the famous beach on the Akrotiri peninsula, Crete. What looks like ice, is actually salt .Close to the sea, this lavalike landscape is often soaked in saltwater. In post, the foreground is lightened, and the sky darkened. Added contrast and sharpness to the foreground, and some colour to the sky, without overdoing it.
Stavros S Niarchos, named after a Greek shipping magnate, is a British brig-rigged tall ship, now renamed "Sunset". She was previously owned and operated by the Tall Ships Youth Trust (TSYT). She was primarily designed to provide young people with the opportunity to undertake voyages as character-building exercises, rather than pure sail-training. She was also used for adult voyages and holidays, which helped subsidise the operation of the ship.
Whilst the ship looks old, she was in fact completed in 2000 at the Appledore Shipyard in Devon, England.
In this photograph, she had just passed through Tower Bridge in London on her way to dock in the Pool after completed a training voyage. One of my young friends was aboard, perched on one of the yards. The ship was due shortly after the end of my working day in the City and I went along with my camera to see it arrive.

Stavros Niarchos Cultural Centre
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stavros_Niarchos_Foundation_Cultura...
Situated overlooking Falirio Bay at Kalithea, an ancient Greek port, four kilometers south of central Athens, on a site which served as a parking lot for the 2004 Summer Olympics, it combines the Greek National Library and a new opera house for the Greek National Opera with two theaters in a single building. An artificial hill was created to raise the building and give it a view of the nearby sea. The opera house has a 1400 seat main theater and a smaller "black box" theater of 400 seats. The library is a square horizontal glass box placed on top of the opera house, similar to the perch of the art museum atop the Lingotto factory in Turin. The entire structure is covered by a single flat roof, which provides shade, and which is covered with 10,000 square meters of photovoltaic cells, generating 1.5 megawatts of energy, designed to make the building self-sufficient in energy during working hours. The cost of the project was 588 million dollars. Renzo Piano architect - wikipedia
The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (Κέντρο Πολιτισμού Ίδρυμα Σταύρος Νιάρχος) is a complex in the bay of Phaliron in Athens which includes new facilities for the National Library of Greece (NLG) and the National Opera (GNO), as well as the 210,000 m² Stavros Niarchos Park. The Center was designed by architect Renzo Piano. The €566 million project was completed in 2016, and was donated to the Greek state in 2017.
