Faros Keratsiniou B.C. is a Greek professional basketball club that is based in Keratsini, Athens, Greece. The club's full name is A.O. Faros Keratsiniou B.C.

History

Faros was founded in 1971, by Stefanos Lachanis. The team had its best season to date, in the 2014–15 season, when Faros was promoted to the Greek 2nd Division, because of the relegation of Panelefsiniakos to the Greek B League, due to financial problems.

During its first season in the Greek A2 Basketball League, Faros made a terrific start in the season and managed to break the record for the best start in the league which was previously held by Dafni from the 1998–1999 season.
