The Land Where Summer Never Ends
Located only 10 miles south of the historical center of the Greek capital, the Athens Riviera is an almost infinite rocky coastline filled with idyllic beaches, palm trees and five-star hotels, glamorous restaurants as well as some of the most dazzling party venues in the country.
From the glamorous shopping district of Glyfada to the crystal-clear waters of Vouliagmeni and from the luxurious residential area of Panorama to the historical ambience of Cape Sounio, there is always something for everyone at the Athens Riviera.
Kickstart your day with a swim at the Astir Beach, the plage where local & international celebrities alike choose to see and be seen. Relax by the Vouliagmeni Marina or a waterfront cafe, visit Lake Vouliagmeni, a natural spring with warm water all year-round or take the roadtrip down to the rocky coves of Saronida and Sounion where the arid Mediterranean environment blends perfectly with the azure colours of the Aegean Sea.
