Summer in the City
Needing some respite from ancient sites and city life? Then head down south! Less than 30 minutes away is our fondly named Athenian Riviera, guaranteed for make you feel that you have been transported to a Greek island. It really will be the cherry on your Athenian summertime experience.
BEACH LIFE
Astir Beach
Known as much for its elegance, style and comfort as it is its pristine sand and crystal clear waters. Excellent sun lounger service, great changing rooms and shower facilities, phone charging station, water sports and more. It isn’t a budget choice but a special day out if you are looking for a luxury beach experience.

Akti Beach
More budget friendly than astir, with free parking, changing facilities and a wide range of kid’s watersports. This beach has the most beautiful green entrance and surroundings, with many people choosing to set up for the day on the grass, under the trees. An awesome space to picnic also!
