4 Stunning Beaches in Athens that Everyone One Visit!
When it comes to Athens, most of us couldn`t look beyond the beautiful architectural marvels, but would you be surprised, if we tell you that Athens is home to great bathing places too?
Whether it`s a sandy strip close to Glyfada`s ritzy shops and cafes or a secret cove near Cape Sounion, Athens outskirts can be a bag full of surprises and which is why we think it should be on your bucket list. Here is the list of best beaches that are in and around Athens:
Lagonissi
Stay in Grand Resort Lagonissi because this will give you free access to 24 kilometres beach-lined peninsula from Athens`s city centre. The vast expanse of sandy shore and shallow waters will give you panoramic views. If you don`t wish to stay in Grand Resort, you can still enter the resort`s Grand Beach, where facilities include a stylish cafe at the end of a wooden pier.
Astir Beach
Surrounded by many luxury resorts and hotels, Astir Beach is the highlight of the chic Athenian Riviera. Nestled amidst the nature`s lap, it has lush vegetation around it along with plentiful parasols and sun-beds along with stylish bars. To satisfy your gastronomic fantasies there is an array of restaurants where you can satiate your taste buds and chill with your friends. If you have booked cheap flights from London to Athens, a visit here is a must!
Kavouri
Situated around 20km from Athens, Kavouri can be reached by taxi or quick drive. Set on one of the city`s most gorgeous coastal walkways, this pretty peninsula gets crowded in the summers. The very swanky Divani Palace hotel overlooks Kavouri, which enhances its beauty even more.
Vouliagmeni Beach
If you are travelling to Athens with a family, then there is no better place than the Vouliagmeni Beach. The beach offers various water sports activities and a plethora of facilities like seafood taverns, sunbeds and showers. The entry here is free which makes it one of the hotspot for families. But if you are looking to have a peaceful time, head farther along the coast and you will come across a string of peaceful coves, known as limanakia.
Visit here in December to make the most of its pleasant weather. To book cheap flights from London to Athens, visit www.voguetravelhouse.co.uk.
