Where to Stay on the Athenian Riviera

Most people see Athens for the Acropolis and leave. The ones who know stay on the Athenian Riviera, the stretch of coast south of the city where the beaches, marinas and seafood tavernas are, with the sights still a short hop away. It is the easy way to have the city and the sea in one trip.

The best base

The Athenian Riviera Lux Flat in Vouliagmeni is a smart, modern home minutes from the water and well placed for both the beaches and the airport. It suits couples, families and anyone mixing a little business with a little leisure, close enough to the city to nip in, far enough out to feel like a holiday. See our Athenian Riviera page for the full picture.

The area, neighbourhood by neighbourhood

• Βουλιαγμένη is the jewel: a stunning bay, the famous thermal lake, and Astir's organised beaches.
• Glyfada is the buzzy one, full of shops, cafes and nightlife.
• Voula and Kavouri are calmer, with lovely swimming spots and a more local feel.
• Cape Sounion, with its Temple of Poseidon, is a beautiful sunset drive down the coast.

Getting around

The Riviera is well connected. Athens International Airport is a short drive, the city centre is reachable by tram or taxi, and the coastal road makes exploring simple. We can arrange transfers so you land and settle without fuss.
