As you walk along the coastal part of Glyfada you come face to face with the A'Plaz of Glyfada. Unlike the other beaches in the area, the coast is free for every visitor. The deep blue waters, the soft sand, and the peaceful environment offer an ideal relaxation experience for every visitor. 

The beach in front of the salt flats is a popular spot for surfers. Agios Nikolaos beach, with its serene beauty and golden sands, offers both organized and unorganized areas, providing a range of choices.

Agios Petros Beach, located just before Sounio, is a small haven with emerald waters that remain consistently calm. Here, travelers have the chance to bathe in a secluded gem while gazing at the ancient Temple of Sounio. Behind them lies the small church of Agios Petros, and sailboats anchor in the cove. On the other side of the creek, organized options are provided by a nearby hotel complex, offering a more luxurious beach experience.

For the adventurous, a walk from this point leads to Duni Island, a remarkable paradise featuring various beaches and coves. Visitors are encouraged to pack a backpack with essentials for the journey. Duni Island is uninhabited and holds archaeological significance, boasting findings from the Bronze Age. It is also notable for the beautiful beaches of Agia Marina.

On Poseidonos Avenue (Sounio), nestled between Vouliagmeni and Varkiza, visitors will discover the iconic Limanakia, a cherished hangout for the youth over the decades. These coves, surrounded by rugged rocks and lapped by clear turquoise waters, offer an ideal spot for swimming with a towel spread on the rocks. In this area, visitors will find the legendary canteen, the only refreshment bar serving patrons since the 1960s, seamlessly integrated with the rocks under the bus stop (Limanakia A). Notably, right in front of the canteen in A Limanakia of Vouliagmeni, you'll spot a red buoy attached to a rope that descends into an underwater well approximately 30 meters deep, known as the "Devil's Well." This well boasts a diameter of three meters and lies at a depth of 11 meters. The crystal-clear waters often attract divers and are used for dive training. For safety reasons, a gate has been installed at the well's bottom, preventing further exploration into the underwater cave. Limanakia offers a unique departure from the organized beaches of the Riviera. Particularly in Limanakia B, there's a designated area for those who prefer nudism.

Legraina boasts an authentic, unorganized blue beach in Attica, showcasing the serene beauty that hides within the Athenian Riviera. Visitors can lay out their towels on the fine sandy shoreline and relish in swimming while enjoying the sea view until sunset.

Just after passing the Holes of Karamanlis, a road to Lombarda or Loumbarda Beach appears on the right. Lombarda Beach is particularly well-suited for families with young children. It's sheltered in a bay, making it virtually windless, and offers ample opportunities for sand play in the calm, warm waters of the sea.

Shortly after Vouliagmeni Lake is the beach of Megalo Kavouri. The beach is characterized by a huge coastline, a peaceful environment, and the calm and green waters of the Athenian Riviera and is the ideal spot for a short excursion within the Athenian capital.

Scales Althea Beach offers a refreshing change of scenery, boasting the aesthetics of an island beach. A short descent down a few steps leads travelers to a tranquil, clean beach with fine pebbles and turquoise waters, offering a delightful sea view (Althea translates to "sea view"). A short alley just beyond the Althea sign leads to the beach's parking area.
A ten-minute stroll from Althea Beach takes you to "Iliopoulos" beach, which essentially continues the Althea experience. This spot is a favorite weekend destination for sunbathing and leisurely reading, all against the backdrop of the mesmerizing turquoise waters.


The most famous beach with a settlement next to Palaia Fokaia is Thymari Beach, named after the aromatic herb thyme, known for its beneficial properties and abundant presence in the area. Thymari is one of the lesser-known, unexplored beaches of Attica, featuring white sandy pebbles. It's an ideal spot for swimming and picnicking. For those desiring seclusion, a small rocky bay at one end of the beach provides a more private retreat.
