Bumper beaches
Lots of the beaches here show off Blue Flags and emerald waters, with public and private patches to choose from. So the decision is yours – laze on plush loungers while listening to house music or pack your own picnic, roll out your towel and get stuck into a good book. Love water sports? Windsurfing and sailing are big business here too.
Ancient Athens
From the Athens Coast, you could be in the Greek capital in just 30 minutes. Capped by the incredible Acropolis, this ancient gem is rich in history with a modern vibe. When you’ve ticked off the Parthenon and Anafiotika, outstanding shopping and rooftop bars await. A tram connects Athens from Syntagma Square all the way down to Voula, making it super-easy to get into the city.
Atmospheric after dark
Beach bars and bass-filled clubs mean the Athens Coast really comes to life after dark. Whether dancing barefoot on the sand or sipping cocktails by the sea is your style, there’s nightlife for everyone here. Look out for Glyfada and Vouliagmeni – they’re two of the best resorts for a buzzy feel.
