Athens Riviera

Message

Just 30 minutes from Central Athens, the Athens Riviera stretches along the south coast to Sounion.

Here you’ll find a plethora of hidden coves, glitzy neighbourhoods with yacht and harbour clubs and grand hotels such as the famous Four Seasons Astir Palace, great to visit even just for an afternoon drink or evening cocktail to sit on their veranda and take in the views of the Saronic islands.

Glyfada

Lake Vouliagmeni is the place to visit for an alternative spa swimming treatment, and Glyfada offers superb shopping.

Public Transport

Take tram 1 or 3 from Central Athens to the start of the Riviera at Trokantero stop in Paleo Faliro. There are several stops along the way to other destinations. OASE Telematics has a great planning map for your route.

Car Hire

Hiring a car is strongly recommended in order to get the most of your visit and have more independence, especially if you wish to stop off on the way to Sounion.
