Athens Riviera
The Athens Riviera is the summer playground for Athenians when they want to escape city life for swimming, enjoying waterfront cafés, strolling along seafront promenades and marinas, shopping in the area’s boutiques, dining by the sea or visiting one of the coast’s night clubs.

Just 10 miles south of Athens, the city streets give way to idyllic palm-fringed beaches and beachfront promenades of the Athens Riviera which stretches 50 kilometers along the Saronic Gulf to the southernmost point of Attica, Cape Sounio.
