About Attica

At first glance, the diversity of the beaches of the Attica does not have a prominent distinctive feature. There is no clear predominance of mountain landscapes or crystal sea, on the contrary, everything seems balanced. Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the flow of tourists continues to grow from year to year.

Glyfada Beach
8 Lorenzo Bianchi Rossi.

This charming beach is a true gem, boasting a delightful mix of soft sand and just enough pebbles to add texture without being overwhelming. The water is absolutely pristine, creating an idyllic setting for a refreshing swim. While there are no additional facilities beyond a convenient shower, this is actually a blessing in disguise, allowing visitors to fully immerse themselves in the natural beauty of the area without any distractions.

Shielded beach. Little space available. Crystal clear water but filled with small plastic waste.

Marikes Beach
10 Kasimir Järvinen

This hidden gem of a beach has a lush canopy of trees providing ample shade, towering sand dunes, and a beach bar serving up refreshing drinks. The crystal clear waters are perfect for snorkeling and offer a glimpse into the fascinating world below the surface. Additionally, the beach is home to numerous archaeological sites, adding a unique and historical element to your visit. Keep this slice of paradise a secret and savor the tranquil beauty it offers.

10 Zara Alieva

The water is extremely clean, although you have to walk instead of driving there.

Kalamaki Beach
10 Aiden Kozlov.

The beach offers of its serene beauty, with crystal clear waters that are perfect for a refreshing dip. The sunbeds are available at a reasonable price of 15€ per person, which is definitely worth it for the comfort they provide. The showers are in good working condition, ensuring that you can rinse off the saltwater after a swim. Additionally, the beach bar is a great spot to grab a refreshing drink, while the toilet and small supermarket at the entrance are free for use. All in all, this is one of the top beaches in the riviera that you don't want to miss.

Megara 2nd beach
2 K-Mur

The coffee is quite pricey at 4€. It seems like they believe they are on an island. Additionally, the sunbeds are worn out and have turned into makeshift hammocks.

Please note that lifeguards supervise 45 beaches in the region, but you should rely on more than just them, remember the elementary rules, as lifeguards are not on duty around the clock, even on equipped beaches!

Finding hotels in relative proximity to the beaches is usually fine. Many beaches have enough nearby accommodation, which gives good opportunities to choose the right place to stay.
