Beach days
Heading to Greece to experience the renowned soft sands and turquoise water? You won’t be disappointed here. There are several beaches to choose from, including popular stretches with loungers to hire and water sports on offer, and secluded spots that are relatively untouched. Plus, the water is warm and shallow, so it’s perfect for swimming. You might even catch a glimpse of an A-lister sunning themselves.
Vouliagmeni Lake
A real secret gem in the area that’s not to be missed is this natural beauty. Hidden from view and surrounded by craggy cliffs, the flooded limestone cave creates the ideal sunbathing setting if you fancy a break from the beach. It’s open all year round and stays at a constant 24°C thanks to underground mineral currents. Al fresco spa day, anyone?
Luxe holiday spot
For Athenians, the town of Vouliagmeni has long been a favourite when it comes to taking a break from the capital. You’ll get Cannes vibes as you stroll the bar-studded streets and watch luxury yachts bob in the exclusive marinas. Experience the glitz and glamour for yourself in one of the sleek seafront restaurants and high-end cocktail bars.
