The 'Ναυτικό όμιλο 3' or 'nautical club 3' beach in Anavyssos (Ανάβυσσος) is one of the 'hidden gems' I wrote about before. It is a very nice, yet very small, pebbled beach that is not well known by most of the Athenians. If you come here, most of t...

'Ta Limanaki' or 'The small ports' is actually not really one beach. It is more a cluster of small bays, on the rocks, that stretch from Vouliagmeni (Βουλιαγμένη) down to Varkiza (Βάρκιζα). The main reason why you will find a lot of people here is be...

'Megalo Kavouri' is the Greek expression for 'Big Crab'. It is the 4th beach that you will find here in Kavouri (Vouliagmeni). It is actually not a 'single' beach but (more) a concatenation of small bays. These bays are easy accessible by car. Depen...

Greece - Around Athens – Voula – Beaches: Pikpa Beach.

Pikpa beach is the first beach you will find in Voula. It is a very nice, yet small, sandy beach. This place used to be an organised beach but due to (political) issues it got abandoned by the owners and so became public again. That's the way I like...

Greece - Around Athens – Vouliagmeni – Beaches: On the Rocks.

19 Jun 2020 1 minute read 1 comment Publish7

This beach is only for the real 'adventurous' people among us as it is not really a beach. I would rather call it a nice place to enter the sea and enjoy a refreshing bath as the waters are very 'bluish' and deep here. This place is rocky and is so...

The 3rd beach of Glyfada is a nice, relatively long (about 800m), sandy beach. During the weekends it can get quite crowded it here (even in 2020) as it is one of the first ‘nice’ beaches close to the city center of Athens. This beach is, by car, on...
