Keys facts about Glyfada (Athens Coast)
Private pools and beach bars
The sizzling heat here means lazy days by the water are on. The good news is, there are shingle public beaches strung right along Glyfada’s coastline. Balux Seaside is also on your doorstep, a private chilled-out seafront pool and beach bar that’s for adults only. For an exclusive experience, ritzy Astir Beach is just 15 minutes away, where you can lounge on a cabana with a cocktail.
Party lover’s playground
Glyfada’s electric nightlife makes it a happening hotspot after dark. Start off with sundowners on Ark’s oh-so chic waterfront terrace, before hitting the quirky bars set along Kyprou Street for drinks and live music. Prefer suppers under the stars? Glyfada’s got trendy trattorias and courtyard restaurants to pick from.
Superb shopping
Love to shop? You’ll be in heaven in Glyfada. Take a break from sunbathing on the seafront to experience pedestrianised Metaxa Street’s mix of international high-street labels, designer boutiques and local stores. For stalls teeming with fresh produce, swing by Laiki Street Market, held every Thursday.
