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.
