Beyond the landmark rock formation known as Trypes Karamanli, one arrives at the outskirts of Agia Marina. This charming settlement extends to kilometers 32-34 on Athens Sounio Avenue. The area was originally named Alykos, and evidence of this name remains in the well of Alykos on Thiseos Street. Over time, a church in the area became a focal point, attracting permanent residents. Today, Agia Marina is a tranquil and sparsely populated village that stretches up to three kilometers from Kropias Avenue.

Anavyssos, historically known as Anaflystos, is a region in southeastern Attica on the Athenian Riviera. The first beach in Anavyssos is marked by a "Property 48" sign at the 48th kilometer of the Athens-Sounio road. A short descent to the right leads to a beach with clear waters, sandy shores, and natural seclusion provided by nearby rocks.
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.


Glyfada, a charming southern suburb of Athens, is characterized by its lively and cosmopolitan atmosphere. It's known for the iconic round church of Agios Konstantinos and Eleni, resembling a miniature of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople (Istanbul, Turkey), located on Posidonos Avenue. Adjacent to this landmark, a visitor will find the Glyfada Market, a hub for branded clothing, footwear, and jewelry stores running along the tram line.
It's surrounded by a slew of cafes, bars, and restaurants that stay open late. The nightlife in Glyfada stretches from the city center to the coast. 
Glyfada is distinguished by its green golf course, pristine beaches, and marinas, offering a refreshing contrast to the urban landscape. Notably, the well-known Asteria Glyfada beach hosts a sea turtle rescue center, making it an excellent choice for families with a variety of activities for children of all ages.


Lagonisi, a coastal area in Attica falling under the Municipality of Saronikos, enhances the beauty of the Athenian Riviera. Originally known as "Kalyvia Paralias," it was renamed after the homonymous Lagonisi Peninsula. The central hub of the area is Kalyvion Avenue, serving as the primary commercial street that links the beach to the Kalyvion community. Right after the peninsula, you'll find Kiteza Beach, complete with a small bar and natural shade from tamarisk trees, perfect for travelers looking to relax on the sand. Nearby is another small beach known as "Lagonissi Bay" (Bus stop: Pefko (number bus: 122), characterized by its coarse sand and small stones. The crystal-clear sea attracts crowds, but finding shade can be challenging. If you prefer shade, it's advisable to bring an umbrella.

Lake Vouliagmeni, nestled in the Athenian Riviera, is one of Greece's 20 hot springs. Geologists believe it formed around 2,000 years ago when a cave roof collapsed. The lake holds a fascinating cave system, though it's off-limits to the public due to safety concerns. Remarkably, it's also the starting point for the world's longest underground tunnel, measuring 800 meters in length and reaching a depth of 80 meters.
The lake's brackish water is continually refreshed by the sea and thermal springs, making it a geological wonder of global significance. The warm water, ranging from 21°C to 29°C, provides a natural thermal spa experience, renowned for its healing properties. The lake is well-known for its capacity to provide relief from rheumatic and gynecological issues, and it is an excellent place to relax and rejuvenate the body and spirit. Surrounded by imposing rock formations that change color throughout the day, the lake is an ideal spot to enjoy this romantic landscape. Visitors can appreciate this view from the lakeside coffee restaurant, which is open all day and into the evening.


Marina Flisvos caters to both large pleasure boats and sea and yachting enthusiasts. Its sprawling 8,200-square-meter facilities, nestled within 25 acres of greenery, allow visitors to relax under the Athenian sky. You can sip your coffee, go shopping, and dine at waterfront restaurants serving a variety of cuisines.
For those interested in naval history, the "Battleship G. Averof," a floating Naval Museum, is a living testament to the Greek Navy's modern history. The Neraida is another captivating floating museum that traces the maritime journey of sea magnate G. Latsis through personal items and photographs that adorn the ship, enriching the narrative of Greek shipping.
An impressive submarine turret rises from a chasm on the waterfront of Floisvos Park, resembling an emerging submarine when viewed from distant ships. This one-of-a-kind monument, dedicated to the fallen heroes of Greek submarines during WWII, was built in collaboration between the Municipality of Faliro and the Naval Echelon of the Skaramangas Shipyards, in response to a proposal by the Hellenic Submarine Association. The Naval Headquarters generously provided the turret itself.


Marina Alimou is one of the largest marinas in Greece, boasting 1000 berths for yachts, as well as well-equipped walking and entertainment areas. The municipality of Alimos has a rich history, and Thucydides, the first historian of antiquity, was born and raised here. The name "Alimos" means "sea," and it marks the starting point of the first organized beaches near Athens, formerly called Akti tou Iliou, which are filled with beach bars from morning till night. Poseidon Avenue is home to the Allied Cemetery, which honors the fallen soldiers of Greece's allies during World War II.



Palaia Fokaia, known as Old Fokaia, was once an ancient city in Attica, with the Phocaeans renowned as fearless sailors and skilled shipbuilders. In 1922, the settlement was reestablished following appeals from the corresponding Phocaea in Asia Minor

The Municipality of Saronic Attica stretches along the shores of the Saronic Gulf. Semi-circular streets begin on the hillside and end at the beach at the intersection of Souniou and Saronida avenues. In recent years, an increasing number of people have chosen this area for permanent residence, as it can cater to all needs and provide the perfect blend of a vacation spot near Athens. During the summer, the area bustles with tourist activity. The unorganized sandy beaches, like Central Saronida Beach, offer shallow, crystal-clear blue waters and are easily accessible for families. The Saronida area is brimming with entertainment options, including food, beverages, and children's playgrounds. The well-known Saronida path, spanning 3.5 kilometers, offers a delightful walk along the sea and parallels Athens Sounio Avenue.

Vouliagmeni, a coastal paradise, is steeped in history dating back to 5000 BC, during the Neolithic period. According to legend, Leto, fleeing from Hera's wrath, paused in this very area before giving birth to Apollo and Artemis, casting her belt aside. An 8th-century temple dedicated to Leto and Apollo once graced the shores, with its remains now found on Asteras Beach.
In 2023, the cutting-edge Astir Marina Vouliagmenis was unveiled on the Laimos Vouliagmenis peninsula. This modern marina boasts world-class amenities, catering to international visitors.


Cape Sounio, the southernmost point of Attica, is home to the remarkable Temple of Poseidon. This temple, built during the classical period of Athens (444 - 440 BC), stands on the ruins of an earlier structure, perched on a 60-meter cliff.
In Greek mythology, Poseidon, the God of the Sea, reigned alongside his wife, Amphitrite. Ships approaching the coast were welcomed by the radiant white Temple of Poseidon, a symbol of maritime prowess. The trident he held was used to catch tuna, offered at the Sanctuary of Poseidon.
The intriguing use of geometrical connections in ancient city planning is exemplified by the Temple of Poseidon, forming an isosceles triangle with the Temple of Hephaestus in Theseio and the Temple of Aphaia in Aegina. This showcases the precision and foresight of ancient architects and city planners.
