Beach overall scores
Avlaki beach (Attica) is located outside the Kaki Thalassa settlement, which may cause some difficulties for travelers who stay far from the coast. However, the remoteness from the village is not always a bad thing. Lovers of quiet rest know, the farther the beach, the fewer crowds.
The beach stretches on the sunny coast and the easiest way to get to the beach is by car or bike. If you don't have this option, then the second best solution is to use the taxi, which can drive you directly to the beach. The only problem, if your stay is far away it can be quite expensive. There is also a possibility of use of public transport, but in this case you need to check the correct route to the Avlaki beach with the locals. Take into account that the bus stop is usually in some distance., but accessing the beach requires traversing some distance on foot. While driving or cycling are the most convenient options for reaching the start point of trail, these methods may not be feasible for everyone. Alternatively, a taxi can be used to drive directly to the location. Public transportation is another option, but it's important to confirm the correct route with locals beforehand as the bus stop may be located at some distance.

"What a fantastic hidden gem of a beach.
Only 5Euros (weekdays) or 7Euros (on a weekend).
We came on a Monday and Tuesday, it was super quiet and has a really relaxed and chilled out vibe.
Plenty of room for sunbathing and a beautiful sandy beach (which seems fairly rare around here) which is gently sloping so it's nice and safe, it is guarded too, open from 8am to 8pm.

"Nice beach with clear cool waters. You pay for entry. On weekdays the crowds are tolerable, but on weekends the crowds are unbearable. At the entrance you will be told that you will find an umbrella to sit on, but this is not always true. The food from the beach bar is below average."
