The Athenian Riviera is located not far (only 20 minutes drive) from the center of the Greek capital and extends from the southern outskirts of Faliro to the southernmost point of Attica, Cape Sounion.

The Athenian Riviera is endowed with an ideal climate, lush nature, beautiful beaches, rocky coves. There are restaurants and cafeterias with great sea views, many bars and clubs where you can have fun.

The main areas of the Athenian Riviera are:

Faliro

The beautiful area of ​​Faliro was known in ancient Greece. It was in the Gulf of Faliro that the first seaport of the Athens polis was located, until the new port of ancient Athens, Piraeus, was built in the 5th century BC. Today Filiro is a modern area, home to Flisvos Marina, an impressive marina that is a trademark of the area's cosmopolitan character. For visiting playgrounds, cycling and walking, Flisvos Park is well suited. The area has many beaches, cafeterias and restaurants.

Glyfada

Perhaps one of the most impressive areas of the Athenian Riviera. It is famous for glamour, beautiful beaches, expensive shops and vibrant nightlife. Glyfada Golf Club is very popular.

Voula

Glyfada is replaced by another picturesque area of ​​the riviera, Voula. There are also many cafes and restaurants, beautiful sandy beaches with various water sports, a large selection of hotels on the sea coast.

Vouliagmeni

Picturesque area with numerous beaches and rich nature. Here you will find one of the best hotels on the sea coast "ASTIR PALACE". In Vouliagmeni are the capital's famous nightclubs and restaurants. Do not miss the opportunity to visit the thermal lake Vouliagmeni.

Varkiza

A popular resort on the coastal route, with picturesque bays and beautiful geophysical landscapes. Here you can swim on the beautiful beaches and have fun with various beach sports. The fish taverns of Varkiza are famous for their delicious fresh fish dishes and unique traditional seafood appetizers.

The impressive coastal route of the Athenian Riviera continues along the Saronic Gulf, including the unique resorts of Lagonissi and Saronides, and ends at Cape Sounion, dominated by the temple of the God of the Seas, Poseidon.

Many of the beaches on the Athenian Riviera have the "Blue Flag", which indicates their compliance with EU standards.

How to get to the Athenian Riviera:

The Greeks are a people who love and know how to relax, preferably at night. Therefore, do not be surprised that all nightlife establishments will be crowded, despite their huge number.

Among the many tourists arriving in Athens, there is an opinion that it is worth going to the capital of Hellas only to visit museums and historical or archaeological sites, and for a real beach holidays in Greece should only go to the islands. This judgment is fundamentally wrong! Of course, those who are already fed up with visiting all kinds of antiquities and archaeological sites and conceived their holidays in Hellas only in the form of daily walks from the hotel to the beach and back should choose the Greek islands of the Aegean or Ionian Seas for their stay.

True, it cannot be said that most of the Greek islands, especially such as Crete, Rhodes, Corfu and others, offer, in addition to a relaxed beach holiday, many sights that are no less interesting to visit and explore.

But you should also know that the inhabitants and guests of Athens are not deprived of the opportunity to soak up the hot southern sun on the shores of the gentle and warm tropical sea. In what other European capital can citizens afford to go to the sea in the morning on an ordinary city bus or tram in order to return home by lunchtime? And the inhabitants of the coastal neighborhoods are even more fortunate: they can even go to the beach on foot. And it is not at all excluded that a good-natured-looking pensioner grandfather who came here in slippers and a dressing gown with a towel over his shoulder and settled down next to you may actually be a well-known lawyer living in a neighboring mansion, a popular dentist or a major financier. After all, on the beach, as in the bath, everyone is equal.

Just half an hour from the center of the Greek capital, the urban landscape of a huge metropolis is replaced by a typical picture of a resort area. Here, in the coastal zone of the metropolitan area of ​​​​Faliro, the famous Athenian Riviera begins, which is a chain stretching to the southernmost point of the Attica Peninsula - Cape Sounion, organized and wild sandy beaches, rocky secluded bays, where lush nature, combined with an ideal climate, creates conditions for relaxation, no less comfortable and convenient than in the well-known island resorts, and the proximity of the infrastructure of a large metropolis provides vacationers, in addition to taking sea and sunbathing, other opportunities for a rich cultural program, vibrant nightlife, fun youth entertainment, active recreation, and and for various kinds of shopping. Today, this unique natural area is undergoing a new rapid development. Programs and projects are being created and are already being implemented to attract investment in this region, which is extremely beneficial for the tourism business.

The French Riviera, which gave a common name to such regions, is the southeastern coast of France, called with a light hand by artists and writers the Cote d'Azur, since the middle of the 19th century. has become one of the most popular cosmopolitan resort areas in Europe, where the entire color of the world elite still prefers to relax and have fun. And who among us has not heard such names as Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Saint-Tropez?..

Flisvos Harbor

Located in the Athens district of Faliro, just 6 km from the city center. This is a favorite and very popular place where residents of the capital come with their families. And since an extensive and modern public transport network makes it easy and convenient to get here from the very heart of Athens - Syntagma Square, then for tourists after visiting the famous sights of the capital, such as the Acropolis, the Archaeological Museum and other cultural monuments, this is one of the closest resort places on coast, where you can take the sea and sunbathing on Flisvos beach, and, in addition, everyone can find opportunities for cultural recreation and entertainment.

A day trip along the harbor is a chance not only to admire the luxury yachts moored to the pier, but also to make a good purchase in one of the large shopping centers or small fashion boutiques located on the shore, as well as to drink a glass of soft drink or a cup of strong, aromatic coffee. , or have a bite to eat in one of the cafes, bars, restaurants that are found at every step of this huge resort park. Sports enthusiasts can enjoy jogging, walking or cycling in a calm and friendly natural environment.

Eden Faliro

The owner of the Blue Flag for cleanliness, the long sandy beach in the Paleo Faliro area is located immediately after the Flisvu Marina and is the closest to the center of Athens: it is easy to get here by tram, getting off at the stop of the same name located right at the entrance to the embankment.

Kalamaki

Next to Attica's largest yacht marina, Alimou, is perhaps the most popular among the Athenians "Sun Coast" - a well-organized beach complex, which is also very close to the city blocks of the Alimos area. On the coast there is a youth music club, several restaurants of Mediterranean and traditional Greek cuisine, beach bars, cafeterias, sunbeds and umbrellas. And in the city blocks behind the central freeway there are several fairly large hotels.

Ayios Cosmas

This well-organized, and thanks to the efforts of local residents, still free beach is located next to the former metropolitan airport, which is now inactive. There is an Olympic yachting center with a large yacht parking, a diving club and some other sports facilities.

Glyfada

One of the most beautiful suburbs of Athens. Here, in addition to beautiful and lively beaches, decorated with palm trees and glowing with golden sand during the day, and at night with the lights of coastal hotels and nightlife centers, there are excellent opportunities for shopping, youth entertainment, and for gourmets there is always a chance to taste something new and unusual.

Night life in Glyfada is no less lively than daytime, because the largest night bouzouki clubs are concentrated here, where music plays all night long, and everyone can show their skills in performing folk dances on a floor strewn with rose petals, to the sound of specially broken ones, for good luck , plates, and visitors leave only in the morning.

The bouzouki is a traditional Greek stringed instrument that is the origin of several styles of folk music, such as the famous rebetika. Now it is an indispensable attribute of any Greek orchestra, the best composers write works for it, and the game of virtuoso performers can make even the most indifferent performers admire. Night bouzouki clubs are one of the traditional entertainments of the inhabitants of Hellas. The most famous performers of both folk and pop Greek music are honored to perform here.

The Glyfada area rightfully belongs to the most elite suburbs of the capital: luxury hotels, villas, stylish shops, bars and youth clubs, famous gourmet restaurants and fish taverns with the freshest seafood are available here in abundance, and, in addition, one of the largest in Greece golf clubs that meet all international standards.

Voula

A couple of kilometers south of Glyfada is another gem of the Athenian Riviera - Voula with two wonderfully organized beaches, ideal for swimming and water sports. Water skiing, beach volleyball and tennis, other outdoor activities and attractions turn the beaches into real amusement parks. And the opportunity to enjoy morning coffee or meet the sunset, having dinner a stone's throw from the seashore, and later admire the silver moon path on the water surface with a portion of an evening cocktail in one of the famous coastal clubs of this Athenian suburb - is such a pleasure worth exchanging it for anything else.

Vouliagmeni

An amazing metropolitan suburb, a real paradise with rich vegetation and magnificent beaches. Here are some of the best and most luxurious hotels in the capital, as well as excellent restaurants serving any gourmet cuisine of the most exotic cuisines of the world, which offer even the most demanding and seasoned gourmet connoisseurs a unique culinary experience. Here, in an amazing natural area, among sand dunes and green pines, you can walk along numerous forest paths, forgetting about the noisy metropolis nearby. Also in the green area of ​​the peninsula you can find a tennis club, a small sports complex and a swimming pool.

Here is one of the most famous cosmopolitan beaches of the metropolitan suburbs, Asteras Vouliagmenis - a real Athenian "California", where you can easily meet popular models, actors, TV presenters and other celebrities. Fine white sand, clear turquoise water, sun loungers and umbrellas make it possible to enjoy both serene and relaxed "doing nothing" and active recreation: beach volleyball, tennis, water skiing and others.

The beach is not the cheapest: in the summer season, the cost of an adult ticket starts from 15 € on weekdays and up to 25 € on weekends and holidays. The price of a child ticket is half the price of an adult. Expensive, but worth it to visit here at least once.

Undoubtedly, it is worth visiting the uniquely beautiful natural attraction located nearby, behind the main road - Lake Vouliagmeni with thermal healing spa springs, where in a closed area for a relatively small fee you can spend the whole day with children, swimming, sunbathing and picking up useful energy of the earth for the future , water and sun.

Varkiza

One of the most popular resorts, which, no longer being an administrative district of the Greek capital, is located outside the official city limits, however, it is still quite difficult to determine this border. There are well-organized beaches, as well as several wild ones, as well as wonderful rocky coves where you can spend time in solitude. And for a worthy end to a daytime beach holiday, you should not miss the opportunity to dine, tasting fresh fish and unique seafood, in traditional taverns located nearby, or just spend a warm summer evening in small uzeri eateries with a glass of anise vodka, beloved by the locals - ouzo.

In addition to the usual types of active sea recreation in such resort areas, the beaches of Varkiza have excellent conditions for windsurfing, whose fans occupy them almost all year round.

Lagonisi

One of the most breathtaking natural resorts in Attica. The luxurious five-star Grand Beach Hotel is located here with a large private sandy bay, beautiful sea water, a floating bar in the middle of the bay, pleasant music. It offers: a cinema, tennis courts, beach volleyball, a restaurant with a children's menu, coastal bars, a sports mini-market, free Wi-Fi.

Saronida, Anavyssos, Fimari, Harakas, Legrena

Stretching further up to Cape Sounion, typical suburban cottage villages also have wonderful beach coasts. Some of them, such as Harakas or Legrena, are considered among the cleanest in Attica. But the resort infrastructure here is still rather poorly developed, despite the fact that these areas have recently become more and more popular with residents of the capital who prefer outdoor activities on the weekend. A lot contributes to this popularity and the program actively promoted by the government to create and develop a through cycle route from the central Athenian regions to Cape Sounion.

Transport

City tram route T3 connects the coastal area of ​​Neo Faliro with the southernmost suburb of Athens - Voula. A trip on it is the most convenient and pleasant way to get to know the urban seaside areas: Faliro, Alimos, Glyfada, Voula. And from the central capital's Syntagma Square to Neo Faliro, the T1 route follows. You can get to Vula from the center by tram T2.

The A1 city bus line runs from Piraeus to Voula. From one of the central Athenian streets Akadimia to the Glyfada area there is a flight of route B3, and bus 122 goes from the Elliniko metro station to Saronida. In addition, buses of the KTEL Attikis intercity network will deliver those who wish to the most popular resorts on the entire southern coast of the Attiki peninsula: Varkiza, Lagonisi, Saronida, Anavyssos, Sounion. For lovers of sea cruises who have arrived in Greece, or traveling through it, on a sailing or motor yacht, along the entire coast of southern Attica, there are well-organized marinas: Flisvos, Alimos, Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Lavrio and others.

Sooner or later, the time will surely come when, when asked somewhere in England, Canada or Japan, the question of a vacation spot, one of the best answers will be the Athenian Riviera. With its high quality of life, refined elegance, sober style, sweet nostalgia for a serene past and huge potential for the future, this lacy strip of land stretching along the sea coast gives the Greek capital a huge advantage in the international competition for the most profitable investments in the tourism business.

... So the time has come to harvest ... The Greek spread a handkerchief under an olive tree and began to wait for the wind. But he still doesn’t exist and doesn’t exist ... “Again, a lean year,” the Greek saddened.

In fact, the Greeks are very fond of telling all sorts of stories about themselves: how loving, cheerful they are, how they drink coffee for hours and have a siesta for half a day. The rumor that they are very lazy, they also started. Don't trust them! Greece lives off tourism and agriculture. The abundance of organic vegetables and fruits, as well as high-quality meat and dairy products on the tables of the Greeks themselves and their guests are not gifts of the Olympic gods, but evidence of colossal work from early morning until late evening. This, plus cordiality and hospitality, quality service and reasonable prices, attracts millions of tourists from different countries to Greece, and I must say, the Greeks are waiting for them with hope and an open heart.

In a roadside cafe where our group wandered in the hope of having a bite to eat on the way to Meteora, we were quickly, tasty and inexpensively fed, and the owner, already seeing us off, counting the simple proceeds, cheerfully exclaimed: “Thank you, RUSSIA, thank you!”

The Greeks are very fond of Russian tourists, we are close to them in mentality, we have Christianity in common, we have common shrines, unexpectedly with the help of a guide we found out that we know a lot of Greek words and use them in our everyday communication. In hotels, our tourists are provided with the best rooms, so when tourists out of habit ask to accommodate them “even better”, the Greeks are offended.

about. Corfu

My journey began from the island, or Kerkyra, as the Greeks themselves call it, immersed in the greenery of olive and cypress groves, and was accompanied by the singing of nightingales and the stunning smells of flowering plants. Landscape - islands-hills and mountains, beaches - from sand to large pebbles, depending on the resort, because. Since the island is washed by two seas, the water temperature also varies significantly. The inhabitants of the island are extraordinarily proud that they are the descendants of the ancient Hellenes, since Corfu is the only Greek island that never surrendered to the Turks. Russia took part in that war on the side of Greece, so there are several memorable places on the island dedicated to the Russian admiral Ushakov, whom the Greeks even elevated to the rank of saint. The patron saint of the island is St. Spyridon of Trimifuntsky, whose incorruptible relics are kept in Corfu, in the heart of the old city. I am happy that I visited this holy place.

Romantics vacationing here should definitely go to the Paleokastritsa region, watch the stunning beauty of the sunsets, and also to Sidari, where the Canal of Love is located, swimming along which together, the lovers will never part with each other (if they manage to get out of the raging canal). Despite the small territory, there are a lot of interesting places and attractions on the island, including the monastery "Zoodochou Pigis", the Kanoni peninsula and the palace "Achilleio", Mouse Island, the main square of the city of Spianado, divided into a park area and a cricket field, the famous Liston Street , built in the likeness of the French street Rivoli. People come here to sit in a cafe and drink Greek coffee, a tourist train departs from here. The lacy shores of the island have many coves and grottoes, when you sail by ferry from the port of Corfu Town, the majestic watchtowers gradually hide the coastal streets built in the Venetian style…

For holidays with children hotels such as, complex, and more economical, are ideal. Some of them have a “mom and baby” formula, which means that the hotel must have a sandy beach with a gentle entry into the sea, a convenient area for walking with strollers if you need baby food (cereals, mashed potatoes, etc.). ), you can order this when booking, the rooms are on the 1st floor, there are shops near the hotel where you can buy diapers, etc.

A very decent "four" for families with children - large territory, 1 line, good accommodation, there are apartments.

Holidays for romantic couples and for those who just want privacy and relaxation: and a novelty on our market. High level of service, eco-food, everything is made from natural materials, cosmetics of well-known companies, stylish "aged" furniture and amazing nature.

For those who are not afraid of descents and ascents and are attracted by beautiful nature and exciting sunsets:, (the owner boasts of a view of Abramovich's villa opposite).

I also want to note that it is very convenient to get from Corfu to the monasteries in Meteora, and to Fr. Bari (Italy), where the relics of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker are kept. Therefore, I recommend the island of Corfu to those who want to bow to Christian shrines, combining this with relaxation in a beautiful place.

Kastoria

From about. Corfu to the port of Igoumenitsa, which is already on the mainland of Greece, sail for about 2.5 hours. Then we get on the bus and go to the city, where on the shores of the picturesque lake Orestiada, surrounded by mountains, there are fur factories, famous and not so famous. Having wandered around the shops and looked at the price tags of fur coats, I suddenly clearly realized that I had long been ripe for Greenpeace. I saw ducks on the shore of the lake, I’ll go and feed them ... Everything, everything: about fur coats, either it’s good, or nothing ...

Meteora

In the morning we drive to Meteora. The road is serpentine, the landscape outside the window is constantly changing, we climb higher and higher, the guide is trying his best to get us out of a coma, and finally, the place of Kalambaka, where we stop and visit the icon-painting workshop. The landscape around is already fantastic. Among the chain of mountains already familiar to the eye, overgrown with trees, rocks of bizarre shapes are piled up, as if they were stuck there by some unknown force. Severe and impregnable, they look completely alien to the landscape around them. And at the very top - monasteries. Awesome! The history of the construction of Orthodox monasteries in Meteora is still a mystery, it is believed that the founders were monks from the peninsula of Athos. The most revered here is the icon of the Mother of God "Fadeless Joy", the churches in the monasteries are decorated with frescoes of the sixteenth century. A place of amazing energy and strength. Checked on myself. When you look from the height of the monastery on the plain of Thessaly, located below, you experience a feeling of flight and admiration. Looking at the monks that we met in the monasteries, at their enlightened faces, I thought that, probably, the monasteries used to be located at ground level, and the prayers of the monks and their desire to be closer to God raised them up along with the rocks.

Olympic Riviera

The drive to the Olympic Riviera took two hours. We stayed at the hotel to rest and in the morning go further - to the Chalkidiki peninsula. The hotel is not five star. It is convenient for those who want to relax and travel by car, because. From here it is convenient to get to many sightseeing objects. Nearby there is a village where shops and taverns are located.

Peninsula Halkidiki

The peninsula has the shape of the trident of Poseidon (and here it was not without the myths and legends of Ancient Greece) and is buried in coniferous forests and olive groves. Even Hippocrates noted the healing properties of these places. Relic pines and sea air give a unique healing effect to those who have suffered from severe forms of respiratory diseases or suffer from asthma.

Cassandra

The first "finger" of the peninsula is good for families with children, and for young people (especially the village of Kallithea), and for a secluded vacation. Here, in comparison with other regions, low air humidity, sandy beaches with a convenient entry. Of the hotels, I really liked the complex, which has remained in demand for many years and offers excellent service, quality food, animation programs for all categories of vacationers. For families with children - for couples without children - for fans of spa treatments - and the most luxurious - where each client is given a key to the hotel. On the common territory there is a huge sports complex, a playground in a eucalyptus park, world-class show programs and musicals in a modern entertainment center, 30 bars and restaurants, three ultra-modern SPA centers, from mid-July to the end of August, the annual and only in Europe SANI Music Festival.

One of the best ultra all inclusive hotels for families. The hotel is located on a hill, which, in my opinion, is inconvenient for families with kids, but an individual order of baby food, a huge mini-club and the ability to call an electric car more than compensate for this shortcoming.

Since this year, a hotel has been opened for Russian tourists, a boutique hotel specializing in spa programs and offering a quiet, respectable vacation. Located not on the beach, has a shuttle to the beach. The rooms are very stylishly decorated, a large outdoor area with exercise equipment. Despite the fact that the hotel has a playground, it seems to me that it is not worth going there with children.

But where it is worth going with the kids, this is definitely. It is located secluded, surrounded by a pine forest, but the hotel has a very strong animation, all programs of which are copyrighted and captivate not only children, but also adults. The Mother and Baby program operates here, the food is excellent, the sea with a long sunset and pleasant sand, beautiful territory and the most skillful nightingales.

For those who like to relax without the hustle and bustle, at the foot of the mountains and by the sea:,. The last hotel is completely renovated, on line 1.

Located in a very pretty village of Hanioti on the 1st line, it has a small but cozy area, an excellent chef, good rooms. What they write in the reviews about the poor entrance to the sea is outdated information, I personally checked it myself: improvement work was carried out on the beach.

In the same village there are economy class hotels, mainly for young people and mobile tourists: - 2nd line, everything is very simple, no frills, - even simpler, but located almost on the first line (in front of it there is a small park separating the beach from the hotel) , has a good fish restaurant.

Sithonia and Athos

And - two more "fingers" of the Halkidiki peninsula. The beaches in Sithonia are mostly sand and pebbles, the forests are healing, the rest is calm, most suitable for older people and for those who suffer from respiratory diseases. Athos is a closed monastic "state within a state", for tourists it is possible to rest only in a small area adjacent to the peninsula. There are sandy beaches, there are no discos and bars, there are no large shops.

The Greeks are rightfully proud of their country, which gave the world great scientists, writers, creators and politicians. The neighborhood with Mount Olympus served to create myths about the gods living there. The Greeks to this day willingly talk about them with a condescending smile and irony, as about their distant and numerous relatives.

I think that every person can find something for themselves in Greece, because it is so different! The city of the Knights of Malta, Rhodes, the island-reserve of Zakynthos with magnificent beaches, where giant turtles settled; Thessaly, where there are many unexplored corners with virgin nature and small family hotels; Athens, where you can touch history in the truest sense of the word; Loutraki, which will restore your health and vigor, and, finally, little Corfu, immersed in greenery and carefully preserving Christian shrines and ancient monuments ...

I want you to love Greece as much as I love it, so I invite you to our office. Let's get acquainted

always yours, Olga.

It takes less than an hour to reach Thessaloniki International Airport.

The coastal strip, washed by the azure waters of the Aegean Sea, all of golden sand, stretches for 7 kilometers. The bottom here is shallow, and therefore, the place is ideal for swimming for children and adults. For many years, the area has been awarded the Blue Flag for the purity of its waters. Any vacationer, regardless of age and interests, will find something to their liking. All the necessary amenities for recreation are at your disposal: modern changing cabins, water games, sports grounds for the beach area. Nature generously rewarded the sea of ​​Paralia with fish. Dozens of local fishermen daily catch the freshest fish from the Thermian Gulf in their nets. Octopus, local fish and seafood, Aegean seafood. In any tavern you can taste fish cooked on coals and unusual dishes of local cuisine. No wonder this area is called the "city of fish." Large and small hotel complexes, located on the seashore or a little further away, are equipped with everything you need. Here you can appreciate the famous Greek hospitality and cordiality. A feature of Paralia is the wide range of entertainment offered. You can choose an active type of recreation that does not stop around the clock, or you can choose a measured, calm rhythm, enjoying the sun and the sea. During the day, guests can enjoy many restaurants where they can taste national cuisine, various cultural events for adults and an amusement park for children.

At night, Paralia transforms into a cosmopolitan entertainment center.

These are small cozy cafes on the seashore and nightclubs, each in a unique style, and of course music halls with Greek or modern music until the morning. Being in the center of the region, Paralia has a "strategic" value. Not far from it is Dion - the ancient sacred city of Alexander the Great with an archaeological museum and the famous ancient theater. Hundreds of years ago, the Platamon Tower built by the Venetians rises majestically at the foot of Mount Olympus. Along with the monuments of antiquity in the north and south of the region, you will find picturesque Byzantine churches and villages in the traditional architectural style. Mount Olympus deserves special attention, which, according to the legend of the ancient Greeks, was inhabited by 12 Olympian Gods. Paralia takes an active part in cultural life, especially in summer. Festivals and other cultural events take place here one after another. The shopping center of Paralia is very developed, offering you quality, variety and low prices. Hundreds of fur and dozens of jewelry stores, souvenir shops, where all kinds of folk art are presented, give their own flavor. However, you can make any other purchase you need in stores representing the entire trade spectrum. Both in Paralia and in the whole of Pieri, the element of nature prevails.
