History
The club was founded on 21 May 1964. Initially inactive, local youth trained on an open field later used for schools. In 1966, Ioannis Katsikis and Panagiotis Antoniou discovered them and activated the club. The team moved to a pitch near Georgiadis Bakery, but frequent flooding forced relocation to the site of the present Varkiza Nautical Club.
Training took place in Voula, with matches in Voula and Koropi. In 1984, with municipal funding under Mayor Konstantinos Baglatzis and help from Grigoris Blatsoukas, a stadium was built at the Varkiza beach area, opening in 1989. The club began in the Athens FCA Third Division, winning Group 2 in 1973 by defeating A.O. Paradeisos Marousi 2–1 in a tiebreaker at Tavros Municipal Stadium, earning promotion to the B' Division. In 1980, it reached the Athens FCA A' Division, competing there from 1980–81. Later, it joined the East Attica FCA and continues in its competitions.
