And then there is the Athenian Riviera…
You have strolled around the center of Athens, tasted the infamous souvlaki, and absorbed the rich history so now it is time to experience the Athenian Riviera.
The Athenian Riviera and its coastline is a must and it holds hidden gems for the ones that want to explore and see it in the way the locals would.
Besides the beautiful Marinas and cafeterias where you can stroll around, grab a bite and sip on our strong coffee make sure to discover the following spots/experiences for a trip to Greece you will never forget!
Cine Floisvos located at Marina Floisvou
The Cine Floisvos located at Marina Floisvou, is an open-air cinema where you will be able to enjoy a movie surrounded by beautiful trees and pink oleanders right next to the sea.
You can also enjoy souvlaki while watching the film under the summer night sky!
Kavouri Beach
Moving more to the southeast of the Riviera, there is Kavouri Beach. While most tourists stop when the paved road stops, you should keep going to uncover a secret spot where the view is simply breathtaking.
Just keep exploring upwards the small dirt paths that are hidden between trees and bushes and you will find yourself overlooking the Saronic Gulf and Athens.
(Bonus tip: Go around 19:00-20:00 to witness the magic colors that the sky and the sea take close to the sunset hours.)
Hidden spots for swimming in Athens
And now the best spots for swimming. We love the turquoise waters of the Saronic Gulf and while most tourists think they can only find these waters on the islands we beg to differ (strongly!). Take a catamaran cruise and you will instantly agree with us as well.
Besides the mesmerizing turquoise waters, you will get to experience Greek summer moments as a local would. Sailing Athens has tailored exactly that! We have put everything we love about our Greek culture into a cruise tour that you can share with your friends and family or even come as a solo traveler!
So what are you waiting for? Come explore the Athenian Riviera with us!
